New Delhi: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chief Operating Officer Salman Naseer admitted that the lack of unity within the team and management was a key topic of discussion during the recently held Connection Camp. Amid the ongoing turmoil surrounding the Pakistan cricket team the PCB organized the camp on Monday with the goal of fostering a clear and unified vision for the future of Pakistan cricket and addressing the internal issues affecting team cohesion. Pakistans white-ball skipper Babar Azam Test skipper Shan Masood Fakhar Zaman Mohammad Rizwan Saim Ayub Salman Ali Agha Saud Shakeel Shadab Khan and Shaheen Shah Afridi will be the cricketers at the Connection Camp. Their presence indeed narrates that the PCB is serious about integrating the superstars on its short-term roadmap and actualizing the future vision for Pakistan cricket. In addition to the cricketers white-ball head coach Gary Kirsten and red-ball head coach Jason Gillespie were also present at the Connection Camp. Salman Naseer said the talks of the camp were largely about solutions to the problems in the side such as fragmentation between the players and management. The camp was there to solve those problems and carry good cohesion along its way. The session was about this that we openly and candidly accept and identify [issues] and ask for a commitment from each other demand it on how we can improve our performances and how we work together as a team. Our unanimous view was that we need to resolve this going forward and need to identify how we do it Naseer said during a press conference. Where the talk is of unity it wasnt only about the team. It was between the team and management and how we can work together to do things more successfully. These were definitely part of the discussions. We talked about planning we talked about workload management Naseer acknowledged. Naseer refrained from delving into the specifics of the discussions held during the camp. However he emphasized that the talks primarily focused on the PCBs vision for the future and the steps they will take to achieve it aiming to bring clarity and direction to Pakistan cricket amidst the ongoing challenges. Everyone is feeling that the performances of players and management can be better. The idea was to sit together and identify issues and what could be better. What our vision is and how do we get there? Naseer added. Pakistans players are currently participating in the domestic One Day Cup competition. Once the tournament concludes the team will shift its focus to international duty as they are set to face England in a three-Test series next month. This upcoming series will be a crucial challenge as Pakistan looks to regroup and perform on the global stage.
