Good news. Skardu is quite well known for Mountaineering, Treking, Hiking, Tourism etc.. One day I hope to see world level matches being played in Skardu. It would also encourage Balti players to join national team.

Would be great to see a team from Gilgit-Baltistan in next years's PSL. Also a Azad Kashmir team should be included too.

The most beautiful cricket stadium in the world. Just imagine the stadium amidst such beauty.

I don't think a stadium at such high altitude will ever get to host an international cricket match.

Imagine a Cricket ground somewhere around this place

Finally they thinking out of box. Best choice to Play in summer Fata and Gwadar can be another good choice. moving cricket from Congested cities is better strategy.

Get another three teams in the PSL from Gilgit Baltistan, Azad Kashmir and FATA!

I don't think a stadium at such high altitude will ever get to host an international cricket match.

Nepal are doing the same although in terms of local matches to revive the sport of cricket.

I don't think a stadium at such high altitude will ever get to host an international cricket match.

If Bolivia can host countries like Brazil and Argentina for football matches in Sucre (2,800 metres), then Skardu at (2,200 metres) for a less physically intensive sport like cricket should not be a problem. However this is if cricket even returns to the country in the first place. The PSL final is just a start, but even then the dropouts suggest we need several years of PSL hosted in the country before teams will consider full out tours of Pakistan (and understandably so).

Great News if true. Because Islamabad stadium is still in planning phased due to lack of funds.
The only place i can see fit for skardu-stadium is near Cadit college. (My personal opinion)
