At this event, fans can unwind on traditional Char Pai (woven beds) while soaking in the game’s atmosphere. The Test’s opening day will witness a special fan walk, giving devoted Pakistan supporters a platform to showcase their loyalty.
Adding a touch of traditional street cricket, there’s a planned tape ball cricket match. And to tantalize taste buds, a Halal Desi food truck will offer a diverse range of flavors.
Interactive participation zones throughout the event promise to amplify the match-day joy. Faisal Amlani will deliver a live performance on Day 1, setting the stage before the cricket action begins.
For a more laid-back viewing experience, ‘The Outfield’ provides a dedicated area with deck chairs, bean bags, and picnic rugs, catering to fans seeking shade or a closer view outside the stadium.
Fans also have an opportunity to watch the Pakistan squad train during the open day on December 21 (Thursday).
Additionally, Pakistan secures extra practice through a two-day match against a Victoria side on December 22nd and 23rd, successfully negotiating more warm-up time.
The second Test is scheduled at the renowned Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) from December 26th to the 30th.
