Pakistan prepare bouncy

          

   Pakistan players, especially batsmen, who are usually groomed up while playing at slow, dry and dull tracks face problems when they play on bouncy, grassy and fast pitches abroad, like in South Africa, Australia, England and New Zealand.The authorities have observed that during the South Africa tour batsmen struggled and considering the venue of the Champions Trophy in England it was decided that special pitches would be prepared to help players' training," a PCB release said.Pakistan had a harsh experience of such fast track recently in their South African tour where they lost six out of nine international matches including two series: Test by 3-0 and One-day International by 3-2 during January-March.The PCB has planned to organise a 10-day training camp in the northwestern city of Abbottabad where a 30-man probable squad will report for screening for the final team selection.After the woeful episode in South Africa where national team slumped at its lowest ever Test total of 49 runs, the PCB authorities decided to take quick and practical steps to make players aware of English conditions during the practice sessions at home.
