The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to ban horns, also known as vuvuzela, from the stadium for the Pakistan-Australia white-ball series after several complaints from the players and officials.
According to the information available, the players from sides complained about the noise level during the games and said that it becomes hard to concentrate on the game due to the commotion.
Earlier, Australian captain Pat Cummins admired the Pakistan supporters during the Test series but also pointed out the use of vuvuzela as "a little too much."
The PCB has finally taken action and assisted all the security members to ensure that no one carries a horn inside the stadium. Banners have been posted outside the Gaddafi Stadium as well.
Here's an example, the poster reads "horns are not allowed in the stadium" with a cross on top of the horns.
The use of vuvuzela caught popularity during the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa and since then, they have been widely used in other sports as well, especially cricket. The use of these horns has remained fairly common in the West Indies as well along with several other sub-continent countries.
