Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was trolled for its low ticket price for the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh which starts from August 21. The lowest ticket price for the second Test match in Karachi is PKR 50 or INR 15.

As soon as the fans in India took note of the low price, they mercilessly trolled PCB, with some of them pointing that the amount is worth a Samosa in India. "Itne ka toh idhar 1 samosa aata hai," a fan wrote.

The low prices have been very likely kept to attract fans to the stadiums. Pakistan have started to host matches after a long hiatus, and are most certainly looking to send a positive message across the cricketing nations.

Also, the hospitality tickets (full box) cost as high as PKR 2,00,00 (INR 67,000 approx) per day at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium which will stage the first Test. The 'Platinum' tickets at the venue cost PKR 12,500 per day.

The general tickets for the second Test at the National Stadium in Karachi is PKR 50 or INR 15. The hospitality tickets (full box) at the venue is PKR 2,50,000 per day and 'Platinum' tickets for Rs 12,500 per day.

The first Test will start in Rawalpindi from August 21, while the second Test will be played in Karachi from August 30. Earlier, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced that the senior Bangladesh cricket team will arrive in Lahore on Tuesday, August 13 for the two-Test series which starts from August 21 in Rawalpindi.

Bangladesh were originally scheduled to arrive in Pakistan on August 17, but decided to depart early after invitation from the PCB in the wake of growing unrest and political turmoil in the country.
