NEW DELHI: Jason Gillespie will arrive in Pakistan next month to oversee a training camp ahead of the home series against Bangladesh in August. The camp, which begins on July 24 in Karachi, will prepare the national team and the Pakistan Shaheen side (A Team) for the two-Test series.
According to a source from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Gillespie will be supervising the camp with the support staff. Shan Masood, Pakistan's Test captain, will return early from England to prepare for the series. The source mentioned that some senior players might be rested as Gillespie wants to assess the back-up talent in the country.
"Gillespie will be supervising the camp with the support staff and Shan Masood (Pakistan's Test captain) will also return early from England to prepare for the Bangladesh series in which two tests are to be played," the source told PTI.
Masood has indicated to the PCB that he wants Babar Azam in the Test team, but other senior players will be given a break. This strategy is part of an effort to explore new talent and provide rest to experienced players.
Mohsin Naqvi is expected to hold a press conference next week to outline significant decisions for the Board following the failed World Cup campaign. In the press conference, he will also address team groupings and internal issues.
