hahaha… buddy - its not as simple as “put the ceiling” - stadiums need to be built using a monolithic dome concrete structure and there are shell, beam, and footing costs that need to be accounted for.

A typical dome in a cricket stadium would probably be a very sophisticated project - you need a height of around say 150 feet with a diameter of about 600 feet… and with these dimensions, you’re easily talking in the range of $35M - $40M (these are simply the costs of putting in a dome… costs of stadium facilities not included).

To my knowledge, the Telstra Dome is the only international standard cricket stadium in the world that has only recently started hosting matches.

I think Pakistan is smart enough to make one or get tips from Australia by making them. If engineers in Pakistan can make air planes then how is it impossible to make indoor cricket stadiums? Atleast they should attempt and might take their own time to build in like 2-3 years.
