Babar Azam, Mohammad Masood to be part of PCB workshop focusing on the future of Pakistan cricket

In Lahore, PCB has arranged a day-long workshop on Monday where captains Babar Azam and Shan Masood, along with other senior players, will participate to discuss and shape the future vision for Pakistan cricket.

The Pakistan Cricket Board has named the day-long workshop the "Strategic Connection Camp," to be held at a local hotel.

Along with captains Babar Azam and Shan Masood, senior players Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Rizwan, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha, Saud Shakeel, Shadab Khan, and Shaheen Shah Afridi will be in attendance.

The meeting will also be joined by national team head coaches Jason Gillespie and Gary Kirsten, assistant coach Azhar Mahmood, and High Performance specialist David Reid.

“We aim to identify key issues, foster open dialogue and collectively agree on a strategic path forward to successfully reshape Pakistan cricket.” PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi said in a statement.

“The Connection Camp is a critical step toward unifying our approach to restore Pakistan cricket to its former glory. Our aim is to identify key issues, foster open dialogue and collectively agree on a strategic path forward.

“The PCB remains optimistic that this session, which builds on prior discussions with former cricketers, will lead to a results-driven strategy that improves both player management and team performance."

Pakistan Test captain Masood said the session will focus on setting performance benchmarks, developing player development programs, and formulating strategies to enhance grassroots cricket.

Red-ball head coach Jason Gillespie and white-ball coach Gary Kirsten have also expressed optimism that the meeting will be beneficial.

“We’re all striving toward the same goal - raising the standard of Pakistan cricket and creating a culture of winning.” Gillispie said.

Kirsten said the focus is on refining the approach to white-ball cricket, building a team that can consistently perform at the highest level and bringing joy to the fans who support them.

The PCB leadership group will also attend the meeting besides the national selectors.

This is not the first time the PCB is hosting such a meeting/workshop as in the past also previous Chairmen have followed the same path in a bid to identify key issues in Pakistan cricket and to reach a concensus on a strategic path forward.

Unfortunately the success rate and outcome of such meetings has not been high. ATK
