Rawalpindi (Staff Report/Agencies): Prime Minister Imran Khan will visit Pindi Stadium to watch the first ongoing test match between Pakistan and Australia.

“Governor Sindh is going to meet Prime Minister Imran Khan and then the latter will witness Pakistan, Australia test match,” said Federal Minister for Information Technology and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry along with Sindh Governor Imran Ismail.

Taking a jibe at the Opposition, Fawad said that he would arrange free tickets for their leaders if they agree to witness the match rather than going out for the long march.
