The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has requested two bulletproof vehicles from the Punjab government as part of enhanced security arrangements for the upcoming Pakistan vs Australia cricket series.
According to sources, the move is aimed at further strengthening security for the visiting Australian cricket team, with all precautionary measures being taken to ensure a safe and smooth tour.
Enhanced Security Planning Underway
Officials revealed that the PCB is working closely with provincial authorities and law enforcement agencies to finalize a comprehensive security plan for the series.
The bulletproof vehicles will specifically be used for the movement and protection of Australian players and officials, particularly during travel between hotels, stadiums, and practice venues.
Focus on Player Safety During the Series
Security arrangements are being reviewed at multiple levels, keeping in mind international standards for hosting foreign teams. Authorities are ensuring that:
-
Team movements remain fully secured
-
Escort and route security is strengthened
-
Emergency response mechanisms are in place
Sources said that no risks are being taken, as the PCB aims to provide a safe and confidence-building environment for international cricket in Pakistan.
PCB’s Commitment to International Cricket
The PCB has consistently emphasized its commitment to top-level security protocols for visiting teams. Over the past few years, Pakistan has successfully hosted several international teams, further restoring confidence in the country as a safe cricketing destination.
The Australia series is being seen as another important step in strengthening Pakistan’s image on the global cricket stage.
