The Pakistan-New Zealand test match ticket and transportation costs will be covered by the ministry of education for students, it was announced on Thursday.

In a letter to District education officers, the chief advisor for curriculum reportedly instructed them to inform the headmasters of the schools in their respective districts.

According to the letter, students who want to attend the game at the national stadium must give their headmaster a note with their name on it.

The information about the students who will watch the game in the stadium will then be given by the district education officers.

The student should also wear their school uniform when they watch the test match between Pakistan and New Zealand.

Earlier, the New Zealand squad stepped foot in Pakistan to play a historic Test series in the country, which will roll into action from December 26 at National Bank Cricket Arena here.

The Karachi Test, scheduled to commence on December 26, will mark the first Test between Pakistan and New Zealand on the former’s soil after 20 years.
