Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Mohsin Naqvi has defended players’ military training session in Kakul with some of them getting injured and not playing in the five-match T20I series against New Zealand, which ended in a 2-2 draw.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Mohsin Naqvi has defended players’ military training session in Kakul with some of them getting injured and not playing in the five-match T20I series against New Zealand, which ended in a 2-2 draw. Following a ten-day training camp with Pakistan’s military, ending on April 8, three players, including Azam Khan, Mohammad Rizwan, and rookie Irfan Niazi, suffered muscle injuries. While keeper-batter Azam Khan missed the entire series with a calf injury, Rizwan and Niazi got sidelined for the final two T20Is with hamstring injuries. Backing the training camp, the PCB boss said that considering Pakistan cricket’s fitness levels are below par compared to other countries, this camp was necessary, with fitness training having nothing to do with players pulling up their muscles.

"Injuries never occur due to fitness training," Naqvi said. "People have got various theories around how to make players fit. Fitness has never been a focus of Pakistan management in the past." "I am not criticising anyone that came before me, but look at players from the rest of the world. Pakistan players' fitness is well below that. This is just the start; we will have to ramp up player fitness even more. If I need to bring in fitness experts from around the world, I will,” he continued. Playing cricket led to injuries Azhar Mahmood - Pakistan’s coach for the New Zealand series, said those injuries happened while playing cricket and not because of the training camp in Kakul. "Kakul training had nothing to do with cricket," he said. "The injury the players sustained happened [while] playing cricket, and the training had to do with physical fitness. If the players were injured, they wouldn't have played the first game. And Azam Khan was not injured before the series, he was injured in the nets,” he noted. Naqvi also said that he informed the players during PSL this year that he has organised this camp to work on their fitness, speed and ability to hit massive sixes. "When I was watching the matches in Lahore, I don't think a single one of you hit a six that went into the stands," Naqvi said earlier. "Whenever a six like that was hit, I used to think a foreign player must have hit that. I have asked the board to make a plan that gets every player's fitness up to speed. You'll have to make a proper effort for that,” he had said.

One week after twin explosions left 116 dead, a suicide bombing attack at a military training centre in Somalia by al-Shabaab terrorists claimed five lives, army authorities said on Sunday.&nbsp;The government is stepping up its campaign against the Islamists who have commanded a 15-year insurgency in the fragile Horn of Africa nation when they attacked the camp on Saturday in the capital Mogadishu.

"The suicide bomb explosion occurred at the entrance and five new recruits died in the blast, more than 10 others were wounded," military officer Mohamed Abdullahi told AFP.&nbsp;
