Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) faced criticism after New Zealand’s Rachin Ravindra suffered a head injury while fielding in the 1st ODI in Lahore. Critics blamed poor floodlighting, with some questioning Pakistan’s readiness for the Champions Trophy 2025. Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt defended PCB, claiming Ravindra misjudged the ball. Ex-cricketer Tanvir Ahmed, however, slammed PCB’s stadium management, while Shoaib Mohammad suggested lighting issues. The debate intensified after India’s ODI in Cuttack also saw floodlight failures. New Zealand confirmed Ravindra needed stitches but will continue to be monitored.
