Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa inaugurated the Chaklala Cricket Ground, said the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Thursday.
“The cricket ground was upgraded to provide state-of-the-art sports facility to cricket fans, especially to the youth of Rawalpindi and Islamabad,” added the ISPR.
“The ground will be available to students and cricket clubs of the twin cities to promote the game of cricket and provide a healthy sports environment.”
