Pakistan players begin intensive white-ball training camp at Lahore NCA

Pakistan’s white-ball players continued their preparations at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Lahore, where cricketers trained under the supervision of white-ball and NCA coaches as part of an extensive development programme.

According to the 24NewsHD TV channel, during the camp, players took part in net sessions and worked closely with coaches on improving their batting and bowling skills. 

The training sessions also focused on overall game awareness and physical conditioning ahead of upcoming international assignments.

A total of 28 players are participating in the NCA white-ball camp. 

Speaking about the programme, Aqib Javed, Director of the High Performance Centre, said a separate camp had earlier been organised for red-ball players before the Bangladesh Test series.

He explained that the current training camp had been arranged with the upcoming Australia white-ball series in mind. 

Aqib Javed added that while 28 players had been invited to the present camp, the broader programme included nearly 36 red-ball and white-ball cricketers.

According to the High Performance Centre director, the camp programme will continue until the end of September, with special emphasis on skill development and player fitness.

He further said that coaches, trainers and medical staff had prepared detailed plans aimed at improving the players’ performance, fitness levels and overall development ahead of future competitions.
