The Pakistan cricket team's fitness camp is in full swing at Kakul’s Army School of Physical Training, and the training regimes are quite visibly demanding, to say the least.

The camp was announced before the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) brought in Mickey Arthur as head coach for the team. The South African agreed that the boot camp was a good move.

“The boot camp will help improve chemistry between the players; when you train really hard together, you build team spirit and camaraderie and I feel it’s a really good idea,” he said.

“Once I arrive, we will do a lot of planning before we leave for England. We will start technical practice after the boot camp and hopefully, the players would be in peak physical shape by then.”
