Amid increasing upheaval in the Pakistan cricket team, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) decided to hold a Connection Camp on Monday to forge a clear and cohesive vision for Pakistan cricket's future.

PCB COO Salman Naseer admitted that a lack of togetherness among the players and administration was discussed at the Connection Camp in Lahore.

Pakistan's top cricketers attended the camp, including white-ball captain Babar Azam, Test captain Shan Masood, Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Rizwan, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha, Saud Shakeel, Shadab Khan, and Shaheen Shah Afridi.

Along with the players, white-ball head coach Gary Kirsten and red-ball head coach Jason Gillespie were also present during the camp.

Salman claimed that the conversations at the camp focused on the challenges and the team's lack of cohesiveness.

"The session was about this that we openly and candidly accept and identify [issues] and ask for a commitment from each other, demand it, on how we can improve our performances and how we work together as a team. Our unanimous view was that we need to resolve this going forward and need to identify how we do it," Naseer said during a press conference.

"Where the talk is of unity, it wasn't only about the team. It was between the team and management and how we can work together to do things more successfully. These were definitely part of the discussions. We talked about planning, we talked about workload management," Naseer stated.

Naseer did not concentrate on the specifics of the talk that occurred during the training. He stated that the discussions focused on the PCB's vision and how they plan to achieve it.

"Everyone is feeling that the performances of players and management can be better. The idea was to sit together and identify issues and what could be better. What our vision is, and how do we get there?" Naseer added.

Pakistan’s next international assignment will be a three-Test series against England at home in October.
