March 25, 2024

29 players have been invited by the Pakistan Cricket Board to attend a two-week physical fitness camp under the eye of Pakistan Army at Kakul, Abbottabad from Tuesday.

The fitness camp will help the newly-constituted selection committee comprising test cricketers Muhammad Yousaf, Wahab Riaz, Abdul Razzaq and Asad Shafiq to pick team for the upcoming T20I home-series against New Zealand, away tours of Ireland and England besides the ICC Men's T20I WC.

The selection committee will also decide whether to retain Shaheen Shah Afridi as captain or hand the responsibility to some other player after considering technical aspects and fitness as hinted by the Chairman PCB Mohsin Naqvi.

The 14-day camp will start from tomorrow and  conclude on 8th of next month.

The camp will focus on team building and aims to enhance the physical and mental strength of the players, ensuring they are in the best condition to face the challenges ahead.

Mohammad Amir and Imad Wasim have been invited to the camp after both the cricketers came out of retirement and made themselves available for selection for the ICC mega event in the USA and the West Indies.
