Lahore: Skipper Babar Azam is confident that after the conclusion of the fitness camp, which was conducted by trainers from the Pakistan Army, the team will return to the sport as “better, fitter and mentally tougher athletes.” A total of 29 Men in Green players participated in the training camp, which was held in Kakul from March 26 to April 6. The players underwent training and drills that were specifically designed by Pakistan Army experts and strategists. Ahead of their upcoming five-match T20I series against New Zealand, Babar opened up about the
11-day training camp and the benefits that the players derived from it.
“This was my third boot camp, and with each visit, I’ve gleaned new insights. The notable deviation from previous camps was the absence of cricket-centric activities. Instead, the emphasis was squarely on physical conditioning, teamwork and mental resilience. I’m confident that we’ll return to competitive cricket as better, fitter and mentally tougher athletes, thereby enhancing our overall performance,” Babar said in a video posted by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). “Given the upcoming cricket fixtures, this camp proves exceptionally valuable. It not only mitigates injury risks but also augments both individual skills and collective team performance,” he added. (ANI)
