PESHAWAR: The iconic Arbab Niaz Stadium in Peshawar is set to be renamed after former Prime Minister and cricket legend Imran Khan, as per recent reports. The decision aims to honor Khan’s contributions to Pakistan cricket, particularly his leadership in securing the country’s first-ever Cricket World Cup victory in 1992.
The stadium, currently undergoing renovations, is expected to be one of Pakistan’s premier cricket venues upon completion. Renaming it after Imran Khan reflects his deep connection with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and his legacy in the sport.
The move has sparked mixed reactions, with supporters praising the decision as a tribute to Pakistan’s greatest cricket captain, while others believe historic stadium names should be preserved. Official confirmation and a formal renaming ceremony are expected soon.
