Keeping this in mind and to create more awareness towards road safety, the organisers of the upcoming Season 2 of RSWS have decided to open the gates of Green Park Stadium, venue for the opening leg of the tournament, to the student community at no cost," said an official release.

Talking about this initiative, RSWS Head of Corporate Affairs Anas Baqai said: "At the core of our efforts as organisers of the Road Safety World Series is to significantly reduce the number of deaths and accidents in the country. As responsible citizens, it is our constant endeavour to drive this awareness through the most loved game and attract the attention of the next generation. When legends of the sport converge together for a common cause, we took a collective decision to take this initiative for the sake of our children who can then spread this message in their own neighbourhood and communities and go on to become responsible citizens of this country."

The organisers informed MyKhel that they are not looking for profits with the sale of tickets because the sole intention of this tournament is to create awareness.

Our prime objective is to ensure that the people don't just watch the game of cricket and get entertained but also get informed.
