Peshawar: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) cabinet has officially approved renaming Arbab Niaz Cricket Stadium in Peshawar after Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and former Prime Minister of Pakistan.

According to reports, the decision to rename the Imran Khan Cricket Stadium was made recently. The provincial sports department had prepared a formal proposal for the name change, which was then forwarded to Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur for approval.
