ICC Champions Trophy 2025 - Current (realistic) State of Hosting Grounds

Gaddafi Stadium right now going through massive upgradation, although too little too late, because anything which remains during the tournament, would definitely bring disgrace to Pakistan as hosts, as currently this tournament is hybrid-ly hosted by Pakistan and the UAE (Dubai stadium to be precisely)

Country should have had come first instead of self

Champions Trophy is going to initiated from February 2025
but just view it is 28th December, 2024; and still NBCS is
in grey structures

Because if country was priority, they would had initiated upgradation during Ramiz Raja tenure, instead they (the PCB) wasted massive time, (India is just taking advantage, but it should be confessed that India benefitted from us), I personally felt, Pakistan should have reacted the time (2021), things must have been much better instead of last minute haphazard upgradation, on the contrary, India at the time of 2011 Cricket World Cup, started renovation of their cricketing grounds at 2008, including Wankhede and Chennai, while Pakistan was hosting Asia Cup 2008, where after this tournament, hosting rights of Pakistan from ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 were taken away from Pakistan, but still Pakistan didn't learn from their mistakes.

We are good in pointing fingers

This is a case of generational critique that focuses on blaming others rather than learning from past mistakes and committing to continuous improvement. It highlights a tendency toward narcissism, which hinders the support and promotion of junior members in various contexts.
