A full capacity crowd at the National Stadium in Karachi will be allowed to watch the matches between Pakistan and West Indies.

According to sources, the National Command and Control Center (NCOC) has allowed 100 per cent capacity after the request of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). 

Meanwhile, the decision of allowing spectators in the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) season seven will be taken in the third week of December.

On the other hand, the tickets sale for the West Indies series are expected to go live from Friday. The most expensive ticket is likely to cost Rs. 1,000 while tickets of Rs. 500 and Rs. 250 will also be available.

Children up to the age of 12, who have been vaccinated, will also be able to come to the stadium with their families and enjoy the match. NCOC has directed PCB to follow all Covid-19 protocols for these matches.

It must be noted that West Indies are scheduled to arrive in Karachi on December 9 for three-match T20I series and as many ODIs, part of the ICC World Cup Super League.
