As much as I'd love to see the Champions Trophy held in Pakistan, the unfortunate truth is that we aren't ready for it yet. The stadiums are quite outdated. Having visited in February, I can say they're adequate by Pakistani standards, but for international visitors, they feel like they're stuck in the '90s.
