Pakistan men's cricket team will undergo a training camp in Kakul under the supervision of the Pakistan Army.
This was announced by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi while addressing the players in Islamabad where they gathered to participate in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 9.
According to details, the camp is scheduled before the T20I series against New Zealand from March 25th to April 8th.
Remember in 2016, the Pakistan team held a camp before the Test tour to England.
Earlier, while addressing the players, Naqvi emphasised the importance of merit within the team.
Naqvi stated that the team will be selected solely based on merit and no wishes of any individual will be taken into consideration.
“The team selection will not be done on the will of anyone, the team selection will be done only on merit,” Naqvi stated. “The most promising thing is that merit will be kept in front, I don’t want to criticise anyone.”
He then reassured that every deserving player will get the chance and if merit is broken, the entire selection committee will bear its consequences.
“Every player's turn will come on merit, if the merit is broken, it has been decided that the entire selection committee will go,” he added. “There are ups and downs in the team, Pakistan cricket team have star players who have to be respected.
“If the players are playing well, they will be selected in the team, I will never say that the players should sacrifice.”
