The connection camp organized by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for players and coaching staff was held in Lahore on 23 September. Head coach Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillespie attended the conference. Apart from these two, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Shan Masood and Shadab Khan also attended the camp.

In a recent discussion, Pakistan’s white ball coach Gary Kirsten shared the main agenda of the meeting as well as the first principles of professionalism and pride. Gary Kirsten wants the men’s team to follow this strictly so that their game can improve even more.

According to India Today, Gary Kirsten said, ‘I am very happy that I am also a part of this connection camp. The most important aspect of this camp was to connect with the players of the team and discuss important things. We can all agree on one thing that everyone wants the Pakistan cricket team to be successful in all three formats. Today we are all here together so that we can help bring out a better version of the Pakistan team.

So I think now the team and the players have to talk about professionalism which is very important. By doing this we can bring back the pride of Pakistan cricket and the performance of the team can be much better than before.

We will have to take some tough decisions: Gary Kirsten

Let us tell you that the performance of the Pakistan team in international cricket has been very poor for some time now. Recently, they had to face a 2-0 defeat at home in the two-match Test series against Bangladesh. Not only this, the Pakistan team has also failed to make a mark in ODI and T20 formats in the recent past.

Gary Kirsten further said, ‘We all want our team to be the most successful. This is really a very talented team and we are capable of performing our best no matter what the format is. If we have to be successful then the team will also have to take some important decisions. Pakistan has to play important matches against the best teams in the world in the coming times and for this we will have to work even harder.’
