The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) organised a meeting in Lahore to address important issues facing the national team. The meeting focused on enhancing unity within the team and improving communication with the PCB.
The meeting was attended by a select group of national team players, the Test and white-ball head coaches Jason Gillespie and Gary Kirsten, and senior PCB officials. The goal was to establish a clear and unified vision for the future of Pakistan cricket.
One of the main issues discussed during the meeting was the reported divisions within the team’s dressing room.
“It was an open and transparent session, during which we got to talk to each other with utmost honesty and discussed unity, collaboration and how we can improve our communication,” PCB’s chief operating officer Salman Naseer was quoted as saying by Dawn.
“Today’s session was held in this regard as well so that we can openly, sincerely and candidly accept, identify and ask for commitment from each other and make demands so that we can improve our performance and also on how we need to work together as a team since it is a team sport,” he added.
“We have a hectic schedule, and it was the right moment to sit together and discuss matters,” said Salman. “There were three to four important things on which we did brainstorming and I think it was the need of the hour as we all know that the performance of either players or management can be improved.
“Another idea [behind the Connection Camp] was that we sit together to identify the issues, things which can be improved and also our vision and what steps are needed to achieve it.
“So, we built a roadmap on how we can reignite our excellence and what steps are necessary to achieve success.”
