Pakistan’s senior cricketers Yasir Shah, Azhar Ali, and Haris Sohail among others have been invited to attend the high-performance camp organized by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) starting March 2, 2021.
On Monday, March 1, the PCB has announced that the board’s high-performance department will be conducting a month-long camp for Pakistan’s elite cricketers who are not either featuring in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2021 or knocking at the doors for national selection.
The camp will be held under the guidance and watchful eyes of the National High-Performance Centre's world-class coaches Atiq-uz-Zaman, Mohammad Yousuf, Mohsin Kamal, Saqlain Mushtaq, and Umar Rasheed. They will work on players’ both technical and physical aspects during the camp.
As reported by ANI on Monday, PCB said in a release: “The camp will commence at the National High-Performance Centre in Lahore on Tuesday, March 2, in which the high-performance coaches will work on various technical and physical aspects of the elite cricketers.”

Meanwhile, the Director of PCB’s high-performance center, Nadeem Khan, said: “This camp is being organized as part of our philosophy and strategy to build the profile of the National High-Performance Centre as a developing and finishing school for the cricketers so that our national coaches can extract the required performances at the international stage.”
He signed off, “This camp has been designed in such a way that the current players who are not part of the HBL Pakistan Super League 2021 and may potentially be in contention for the April tour of South Africa and Zimbabwe can remain connected and hit the ground running when they land in Africa.”
Here are the players invited to the camp:
Abdullah Shafique, Abid Ali, Ahmad Bashir, Asad Shafiq, Azhar Ali, Bismillah Khan, Fawad Alam, Hammad Azam, Haris Sohail, Hasan Khan, Imran Butt, Irfanullah, Kamran Ghulam, Khurram Shahzad, Mohammad Abbas, Nauman Ali, Rehan Afridi, Sajid Khan, Salman Irshad, Saud Shakeel, Tabish Khan, Taj Wali, Umar Khan and Yasir Shah.
