According to sources, the pool will serve as a bench strength for Pakistan’s national teams and will also supply talent for Pakistan Shaheens and Pakistan Emerging teams.
In the first phase, 22 players have been called up for assessment, with Head Coach Mike Hesson leading the evaluation alongside other coaching staff. Based on this report, the selected players will undergo focused training at the National Cricket Academy (NCA).
