A 25-strong group of Pakistan’s national cricketers will resume training at Lahore’s National Cricket Academy, starting from June, in preparation for their upcoming tour of England, an ESPNcricinfo report states.
The players will begin training in pairs at the NCA before shifting base to the Gaddafi Stadium, where they will assemble in a larger group. The squad will then fly to England in early July. The players will be kept in a biosecure environment throughout, until the end of the tour in August.
“It seems the Pakistan cricket team will have to remain under a strict bio-secure environment for up to three months,” Wasim Khan, the PCB CEO, said. “Players will be given an option to withdraw if they are still not satisfied with the provisions that will be put in place. Full details will be provided in the coming weeks.”
The ECB has already briefed the PCB on its plans to keep the players in a biosecure environment, including a two-week quarantine once they arrive in the UK.
