Lahore Qalandars host Guyanese cricketers for training camp

The four-week programme features specialised coaching, match practice and fitness training

Lahore Qalandars are hosting 16 young cricketers from Guyana and two coaches for a four-week high-performance training camp at the Smart Qalandars High Performance Centre in Capital Smart City.

The camp, which began on November 13, aims to develop the visiting players through individualised coaching, competitive match practice, strength and conditioning, nutrition management and technology-based performance tracking.

The programme will be delivered by Lahore Qalandars’ high-performance coaching and support staff, with players also receiving education on fitness, discipline and the demands of professional cricket.

Lahore Qalandars owner Sameen Rana said the franchise was honoured to welcome the Guyanese delegation and described the initiative as a special partnership.

He praised Guyana President Mohamed Irfaan Ali’s vision of creating sporting opportunities for young people and said the franchise was proud to support the development of cricket in the Caribbean nation.

“At Lahore Qalandars, we believe talent has no borders,” Rana said.

The franchise also acknowledged the support of Guyana’s Senior Minister of Sports and Culture Charles Ramson and Minister within the Ministry of Sports and Culture Steven Jacobs in facilitating the players’ visit to Pakistan.

Lahore Qalandars said the initiative reflected its commitment to developing cricket beyond borders and providing emerging players from Pakistan and around the world with access to high-performance facilities and professional training.
