“When are we going to train?” – Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of the PCB, requests that the Pakistan cricket team train alongside the nation’s army in March and April.

In order to improve their level of fitness in light of their significant responsibilities, the Pakistan national cricket team is prepared to work with the nation’s army for ten days, from March 25 to April 8.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi announced on Tuesday, March 5, that the camp will start one week after the PSL (Pakistan Super League) 2024 concludes. Speaking about the same, Naqvi stated that he had never seen a Pakistani player hit a six in the stands during the PSL, and that he always assumed a foreign player had done so. This emphasizes the growing significance of the training camp with the Pakistani army.

I doubt that even one of you struck a six that found its way into the bleachers during the matches I watched in Lahore. I used to assume a foreign player hit a six when it happened. I have requested that the board devise a plan to ensure that all players are fit. ESPNcricinfo cited Naqvi as adding, “You’ll have to put in a proper effort for that.”

We are having a T20 World Cup, so I was wondering when we would train. Chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board

Additionally, the head of the PCB reiterated that after the New Zealand series, there will be an England tour in addition to playing Ireland. Furthermore, the highly anticipated T20 World Cup is scheduled to occur later this year in the USA and the West Indies, respectively. Thus, in light of the demanding schedule, the board determined that players could practice for a brief period of time prior to the main event.

“Ireland, England, and New Zealand are up next, then the T20 World Cup. I said, ‘When will we train?’ but there was no time. But we have a window of opportunity, therefore, from March 25 to April 8, we have scheduled a camp at Kakul, a military academy. Your training will involve the Pakistan Army, and hopefully they will assist you, Naqvi continued.

Its triumph might also be in jeopardy, with the camp looming large. Setting up a camp during a time when the players would have preferred to relax and spend time with their families may lead to some problems. The camp takes place during the second half of the holy month of Ramadan, which is noteworthy. The fact that the majority of the team members will be fasting from sunrise to sunset, which means they won’t have access to food or water, further complicates the effectiveness of the camp.
