Why not just make the players play in the hanif mohd trophy

Why not just make the players play in the hanif mohd trophy

Imam drops his county season and making runs in Hanif Mohammad Trophy

Why not just make the players play in the hanif mohd trophy

Skill development camp will have to shut down then

Why not just make the players play in the hanif mohd trophy

Probably because no one cares about that tournament. It's so low profile that even the PCB have made no real attempts to publicise it or the top performers in the tournament.

 

[Obaidd]

Red ball camp that’s great. I am surprised Rohail Nazir is still in PCB’s plans. Maybe he’s being prepared for keeping in tests in Riz’s stead.

Why not just make the players play in the hanif mohd trophy

Yes, makes absolutely zero sense

 

[jnaveen1980]

Another one of those "short cut" methods? Pakistan always conduct these weird "targeted camps" looking for a "quick fix". Big hitting camp,boot camp, red ball camp. You learn red ball cricke tby playing actualy in first class tournament.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Presumably they are going to prepare spin tracks for the Test series so shouldn't they have more than one spinner in camp?

Naseem Shah?

 

[Nasty Naz]

Naseem Shah?

He's playing in CPL like Rizwan.

 

[BouncerGuy]

I want to see some change in these guys after the camp. If it stays the same, then these kinds of camps are not worth it.

It would be better if they play hanif Muhammad games instead

 

[Energy]

Will we now be smeared with player photos and videos for social media likes and followers? Never seen anything else come out of these camps.
