Pakistan’s cricket team is in good shape: Intikhab Alam
HAMPSHIRE: Pakistan’s cricket team manager, Intikhab Alam, said on Thursday the team is in good shape ahead of the four-Test series against England, slated to start in July.
“The ongoing camp is a golden chance for the team to get used to the English conditions,” said Alam, while talking to media.
Pakistan is currently playing a 3-day practice match to acclimatise to the alien conditions.
Alam seemed content with the batsmen’s display during the game.
“Hafeez has shown good form and scored 85 runs. Misbah-ul-Haq and Younis Khan have also had a good time at the crease,” the 74-year-old told over the phone.
The first and second days of the practice game started with a delay due to rain.
The former Test captain added the gym training will continue despite the weather-related delay in the game. “This 10-day long camp is going to help all the players.”
Speaking about Mohammad Amir, Alam stated the left-arm fast-bowler is keen to perform on his Test return tour.
Pakistan team will depart to Taunton on June 29 to play a proper practice game against the English county side, Somerset.
The national side tour officially kicks off on July 14.
Pakistan will face-off England in four Tests, five One-Day Internationals, and a Twenty20 International.
