Players of the Pakistan Cricket Team are undergoing a rigorous physical training set at the Army School of Physical Training at Kakul, Abbottabad.
With the T20 World Cup just a few months away, PCB has cranked up the physical training of the players to make them physically fit for the tournament. The training camp has been set from March 28th, 2024 till April 9th, 2024.
