LAHORE (Dunya News) - The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to enhance security measures around dressing rooms following a recent incident at Gaddafi Stadium.
The move comes after a fan of former captain Babar Azam breached security during a Test match between Pakistan and South Africa.
The young man jumped over a wall and managed to reach the dressing room, leaving players shocked by the unexpected presence.
Security personnel acted swiftly and took the individual into custody.
According to sources, a plan has been finalized to install protective fencing between the enclosures and the dressing rooms.

Earlier, the PCB had restored the splendor of the Gaddafi Stadium with the free ticket policy.

The enthusiasm of the people inside and outside the stadium was visible as there were a large number of spectators in the enclosures including Imran Khan, Fazal Mahmood, Ramiz Raja, Abdul Qadir and Sarfaraz Nawaz.
