Training camp for Shan Masood & co before PAK vs ENG Tests
A press release from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) stated that the selected players have been withdrawn from the Champions One-Day Cup. Shan Masood and co. will assemble in Multan on September 30 to begin preparation for the upcoming series with a training camp from October 1.
“With a busy domestic and international cricket schedule, it makes sense to give our players some much-needed rest ahead of the Test series against England,” Pakistan Test coach Jason Gillespie said.
