PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja told ESPNcricinfo that the cricket board was in “advanced negotiations” with a number of sponsors. The highest bidder would win the right to have the stadium renamed after it. There have been a number of attempts in the past to change the name of the iconic stadium, but all of them were for political reasons, he said. “However, this one is purely financial,” Ramiz told the publication, adding that other stadiums in the country, including the National Stadium Karachi (NSK), could also be renamed. Shafique and Azam lead Pakistan fightback in second Test “We acquired the services of YouGov [a public opinion and data company] to estimate the brand worth of our stadia, and how much sponsorship deals would be worth,” Ramiz said. “That's not just true of the Gaddafi Stadium, but also the NSK and others. We've been working towards this for a while, and the response from sponsors has been satisfactory. Once we finalise a deal [for Lahore], the name Gaddafi will go completely with a sponsor's name replacing it.” It is worth noting that when the stadium was built in 1959, it was called Lahore Stadium. In 1974, on his visit to Lahore, Gaddafi delivered a speech at the Organization of Islamic Conference where he supported Pakistan's right to seek nuclear weapons. Following this, Pakistan's then-prime minister, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, changed the name of the premier cricket stadium to honour the Libyan leader. When Gaddafi was deposed, there were strong suggestions that Pakistani cricket would want to disassociate itself from him, but this did not gain any traction.

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (35) and guard Jalen Green (0) hug as they walk to the locker room after the Houston Rockets lost to the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday, Jan. 28, 2022, at the Toyota Center in Houston. The Rockets were right there, within six, five minutes left, close enough to believe they could complete the comeback and win a game on their home floor. They had repaired the broken offense that put them in an 18-point first half hole. They mixed in occasional stops. They had five minutes to chase the homecourt win that had eluded them since early December. The Rockets’ defense, however, remained what it has been throughout their Toyota Center skid. With the game on the line, the Trail Blazers poured in 18 points in the final 4 ½ minutes on Friday, easily pulling away to top the Rockets, 125-110, the Rockets 10th consecutive loss on their home floor. “They’re a very talented offensive team,” Rockets coach Stephen Silas said. “We struggled down the stretch to guard them, for sure.” While Anfernee Simons and C.J. McCollum, who combined for 53 points, lit up the Rockets on one end down the stretch, the Rockets made just 1 of 7 shots in the final five minutes. “It just came down to getting stops at the end,” Rockets guard Garrison Mathews said. “They kept iso-ing me at the end. I couldn't get stops. Put it on me. Toward the end, that's the most important time to get stops."
