Sports activities around the world have been shut down due to the corona virus and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to take advantage of the services of former great players on this occasion.
The PCB has
decided to train young cricketers during the lockdown and great Pakistani
cricketers like Javed Miandad and Wasim Akram will coach young players online.
These coaching
sessions have been organized by the Pakistan Cricket Team Management in
collaboration with the Department of International Cricket Operations where the
team management is taking unique steps to keep the players engaged in the game
during this difficult time. There will also be an opportunity to learn from
experiences.
Along with Javed
Miandad and Wasim Akram, Mohammad Yousuf, Moin Khan, Mushtaq Ahmed, Rashid
Latif, Shoaib Akhtar and Younis Khan will also brief the players on their
experiences and the nuances of the game.
In these
sessions, Javed Miandad, Mohammad Yousuf and Younis Khan will talk to 21
batsmen in three different sessions while Wasim Akram and Shoaib Akhtar will
give lectures to 13 fast bowlers.
In addition, 6
spinners will be taught by Mushtaq Ahmed while Moin Khan and Rashid Latif will
guide 5 wicket keepers.
Representing
Pakistan in 357 international matches from 1975 to 1996, Javed Miandad, who
scored more than 16,000 runs, will give a lecture to the players on Monday
while Wasim Akram will teach the bowlers to fall on Tuesday.
National team
head coach and chief selector Misbah-ul-Haq said that he was grateful to all
the cricketers who agreed to share their experiences with these young and
emerging cricketers.
"These
players have very inspiring stories and I want our players to try to learn from
what they hear from them," he said.
"We are
moving forward with the idea that the next series is from England. Most of
these players have been part of the team that won the series in England, so
they know how to prepare for the series," he said.
