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.”
