Lahore:The final of the first-class Quaid-e-Azam Trophy has been rescheduled and will be played from 27 till 31 December at Karachi’s National Stadium, the Pakistan Cricket Board’s domestic cricket department announced on Friday.

The decision has been made after Sri Lanka confirmed to play their World Test Championship matches against Pakistan in Rawalpindi (11-15 Dec) and Karachi (19-23 December). 

Previously, the match was scheduled to be held from 9-13 December at the same venue.
