The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has relocated the second Test between Pakistan and Sri Lanka from Lahore to Rawalpindi due to worsening air pollution in the Punjab capital. The decision comes as rising smog levels have raised concerns about air quality and playing conditions.

The second Test was originally scheduled to take place at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore from November 17 to 21. However, due to the deteriorating air quality, the PCB decided to shift the match to Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The dates of the match will remain unchanged.

Lahore is currently experiencing heavy seasonal smog, which affects parts of India and Pakistan between October and December. The city is also among the world's most polluted cities, according to IQAir, a Swiss air quality monitoring company.
