Some interesting names in there. It would be good to see some younger players making an impact at the training camp and playing themselves into contention for the final squad.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Yasir Shah... lol.

 

[gazza619]

What a joke!!!! 60 players?

 

[Major]

Man this is just cruel. Its too damn hot in Pakistan. Why cant we not have an off season and do conditional trainings at night

 

[Major]

Plus, its west indies, just train 15 players at max...

Pakistan should atleast make sure that from may till july, they get to do more away tours.

 

[Sultan Baba]

Why no Umer Amin????

 

[Abstraction1]

Seems to be a good shakeup for the domestic players too.

It's not exactly a bad thing.

Should have arranged the camp in a cooler city. Maybe Abbotabad or somewhere in North.

 

[Extra_Cover]

Why no Umer Amin????

Strange given he had a very successful Pakistan Cup recently.

 

[Shafi]

Yasir, Sajid, Fawad, Nauman for ODI. PCB really going forward.

It's a conditioning camp ahead of the ODI series. Not sure why you're confused here.

 

[Shafi]

It's a conditioning camp ahead of the ODI series. Not sure why you're confused here.

Both Nauman & Sajid failed in Australia, Yasir is expired long ago and Fawad has no future in ODI. So why they are in the condition camp? It indicates that they may get selected for WI series.

None of the above, you mentioned would be selected for Odis. Shadab, Nawaz, Imad & Qadir/Zahid are Odi specialist.

So, don't worry.

No they won't get selected.

 

[MenInG]

Ramiz Raja interacts with players in the camp - wonder what he is telling them?

 

[BunnyRabbit]

[MENTION=93712]MenInG[/MENTION] Is there a stadium in Abbottabad? If so, then what's the condition of it? It could provide Pakistan a good place to host cricket during june-july-august if it's a good enough.

Abbotabad will suffer because of the lack of a 5 star hotel there.

Way to expensive from Dahani but good to see Imaam scoring at above run a ball.

I thought he was a just a spinner.

Looks to have decent technique as a batsman.

You can't tell much from a couple of shots but I like his style. Will be keeping an eye on that name.
