This development came after the problem of housing International players and teams during the Pakistan Super League (PSL). They have recently stayed in local five-star hotels in Pakistan.

The newly acquired building will save time due to not facing traffic problems while teams travel from their hotels to the stadium.

In addition, three significant stadiums, including the Gaddafi Stadium are going through renovation by PCB in preparation for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy. It is going to happen in Pakistan.
