The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has proposed a plan for bilateral ODIs and a three-nation series in advance of the ODI World Cup 2023 later this year.
The News reported on Monday, citing sources, that the cricket governing body has begun contacting Australia, New Zealand, Bangladesh, and South Africa to extend invitations for them to visit Pakistan in August to take part in bilateral or tri-nation series.
The PCB maintained the series would be a chance for the visiting teams to acclimatise to the conditions in the subcontinent before the World Cup in an email sent to all four cricket boards.
Before the ODI World Cup, the PCB wants its players to play three to five ODIs.
Bradburn focuses on the ODI World Cup 2023 and WTC final
Grant Bradburn, the head coach of Pakistan, has stated that his team’s objectives are to win the ODI World Cup this year, become the top-ranked side across all formats, and go to the World Test Championship (WTC) final.
He underscored the necessity for improvement in every sector and the need of playing more matches at a media interaction at the National Cricket Academy (NCA). He admitted that the PCB is responsible for organising more matches, and he voiced confidence in its efforts to do this.
Also discussed was the current specialty camp at the NCA. He said the athletes would have a fantastic chance to improve their abilities. The emphasis of the camp is on spinners, and Bradburn emphasised the value of developing gifted spinners and giving batters the opportunity to confront them.
Abid Ali’s involvement in the camp was questioned, and Bradburn lauded him for being a solid player with a respectable Test average. He praised Abid’s physical appearance and voiced optimism for his eventual comeback.
Yasir Shah, a leg-spinner, is still a part of their plans and has the potential to return, according to Bradburn when asked about him.
