Faith in cricket: Inzamam leads the way at Gaddafi skill camp
Despite stirring controversy years ago for bringing religion into the game, the chief selector clearly seems unfazed
Pakistani cricketers are currently participating in a skill camp at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore to prepare for the tour of England and national team chief selector Inzamamul Haq is making sure they receive some spiritual guidance too on the sidelines.
In a picture circulating on social media, the 46-year-old Inzamam can be seen leading afternoon (Zuhr) prayers at Gaddafi Stadium.
Earlier, Inzamam's pictures of leading the Afghanistan team into prayers also made headlines on social media during the Asia Cup qualifiers. Afghanistan beat Hong Kong by 66 run on February 22 and the then head coach was seen leading his players into the evening (maghrib) prayers.
Inzamam's arrival into the Pakistan Cricket Board mix has brought changes when it comes to players' fitness. The players were sent to a fitness and boot camp to Army School of Physical Training in Kakul, which was followed immediately by the skill camp.
With all three domains covered, soon the results of these initiatives will be evident when the team visits England for a two-month long series. Are you hoping for a miracle?
