No training camp for Pakistan before England Tour.


Pakistan cricket Board is not going to held a training camp for the England tour 2020 due to the Corona Virus Pandemic. The players and support staff will instead meet up in Lahore before their departure to the UK, where COVID-19 tests will be conducted.
This is a huge setback for Pakistan given it was a chance for the just appointed Younis Khan (batting coach) to work with the team. The constantly evolving Coronavirus situation has left players to train by themselves, with the Pakistan board even advising its players against using cricket grounds in this period.
The management however hoping to manage some training sessions in England before the series start. Dates for the proposed tour are yet to be confirmed.
Pakistan Cricket team coach and chief Selector Misbah ul haq said that is not the reason his side have agreed to go ahead with the series. Instead, he focuses on the importance of getting international cricket back underway following Covid-19 as the motivation for the players.
"We are not expecting anything in return but overall, we want not just the ECB but all cricketing nations to help each other so this game can grow. It's important for the cricket fans in Pakistan and also for Pakistan cricket that countries start touring Pakistan." Misbah added.
Misbah also made it clear to not expect anything in return. Misbah said Pakistan's experience of playing 'home' games in the United Arab Emirates without the "energy" provided by fans would stand them in good stead for matches in England where there will be no spectators on health grounds.
Misbah also wished Shahid Afridi well after his fellow former Pakistan skipper tweeted on Saturday he had tested positive for the illness.
