The last match of the recently concluded five-Test series between India and England was played at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala. Since then, this stadium situated amidst the picturesque Dhauladhar mountain range in Dharamshala has become a topic of discussion. Its captivating sight has mesmerized cricket fans all over the world. Regarding this, when former Pakistan star player Wasim Akram was asked why PCB does not invest in building new stadiums like Dharamshala and Queenstown? On this, Wasim Akram gave a shocking statement and said that we cannot maintain three stadiums, how can we build new ones?

Encircled by verdant hills and the snow-capped Himalayas, the Dharamshala stadium offers its audience an unforgettable experience. Built at a height of 1,457 metres above sea level, this stadium is renowned for its natural beauty. Cricket enthusiasts from all over the world, in addition to Indian supporters, appreciate Dharamshala's splendour.

According to a report by TOI, Dharamshala Stadium was recently the main point of discussion in the sports show The Pavilion on Pakistani A Sports Channel. In this show, cricket legend Wasim Akram raised questions about the lack of such stadiums in Pakistan.

Wasim Akram was asked why PCB does not invest in the northern part of Pakistan to build new grounds like India's Dharamshala Stadium and New Zealand's Queenstown Stadium?

On this, Akram clearly said that if we cannot even maintain three stadiums, then how can we build new ones? He said have you seen the roof of Gaddafi Stadium, which they were showing from the drone?

Akram further said that we cannot control even the three stadiums we have. We can only dream of building a new stadium. However, we have enough space to build a new stadium.

Abbottabad is a very beautiful ground. Recently, India won against England by an innings and 64 runs at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala and captured the series 4-1.
