Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Mohsin Naqvi has instructed the senior men’s team to train with the army in March-April, after the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2024 edition.
Naqvi, who replaced Zaka Ashraf, had a word with a few Pakistani players in Islamabad, on Tuesday (March 5), where he told them to undetgo a 10-day training camp with the army to improve their strength and fitness.
It is reported that Naqvi was disappointed with the Pakistani batters’ six-hitting abilities and spoke on the need to focus on strength and fitness.
“When I was watching the matches in Lahore, I don’t think a single one of you hit a six that went into the stands. Whenever a six like that was hit, I used to think a foreign player must have hit that. I have asked the board to make a plan that gets every player’s fitness up to speed. You’ll have to make a proper effort for that,” Naqvi was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo when he addressed the players in a hotel in Islamabad.
