Pakistan Test squad engages in scenario-based practice ahead of South Africa series

The Pakistan Test squad, gearing up for the upcoming 2-Test match series against South Africa, took part in a scenario-based two-day practice game at the Gaddafi Stadium on Friday as part of their ongoing training camp.

The specially designed match was aimed at preparing the players for the rigors of Test cricket, sharpening their adaptability in various game situations.

After four days of intense training, the players will take a rest day tomorrow before resuming camp activities.

The training camp, which began on September 30, is scheduled to run until October 8, providing the team with ample time to fine-tune its strategies ahead of the high-stakes contest.

The Test series is set to kick off on October 12 in Lahore, where the pitch is expected to heavily assist spinners.
