KARACHI, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 17th Jul, 2023 ) :The second phase of the women's a 10-day skills camp concluded on Monday at the Hanif Muhammad High Performance Centre, Karachi.
The first phase was held in Lahore's National cricket academy from 5 to 9 July.
Like the first phase, a total of 20 players including Pakistan women's captain Nida Dar took part in the second phase.
During the five-day Karachi phase, the players featured in two practice games on Friday and Monday, besides taking part in different skills sessions under the supervision of Pakistan women's team support staff, led by head coach Mark Coles.
Both camps also provided an opportunity for players to sharpen their skills, but at the same time it also gave selectors a chance to closely observe the players' fitness and skillset ahead of the busy 2023-24 season where Pakistan women's team are scheduled to play 15 ODIs (all part of ICC Women's Championship) and 17 T20Is excluding Asian Games matches.
Batting coach Taufeeq Umar, shedding light on the importance of camp, said, "The camp went well where the prime focus was on players' fitness.
During the Karachi phase, the players got the opportunity to play in some practice games, which helped them to showcase their skills in the matches.
"I see great potential in players that featured in both camps and they responded well to the coaches.
"This camp also helped us to analyse the bench strength as we have a busy international season ahead. Such camps in the off-season help the coaches to identify talented local players and work on their skills so they are ready to feature in the international team.
" 18-year-old left-arm spinner Anoosha Nasir, who represented Pakistan in ICC U19 Women's World Cup in January this year and recently in ACC Women's Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2023 said, "The camp was really helpful. The players worked on different aspects of the game, and also got the chance to play practice matches during the camp.
"Nida Dar's presence in the camp greatly benefitted the young players. She guided them during various sessions, which will ultimately contribute to our future success.
"My goal for the future is to perform well whenever I am provided with an opportunity, just as I have done in the past for my teams."
