LAHORE: All centrally-contracted Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) players are attending the three-day fitness camp which began here at the Gaddafi Stadium on Tuesday.

The fitness tests will see 13 players coming to Lahore after leaving their foreign cricketing assignments in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) and the English counties. However, the players can now go back to their foreign teams after appearing in the tests.

Although the fitness tests — being held at the National Cricket Academy and the Gaddafi Stadium under the supervision of head coach Mickey Arthur — are closed to media, reports coming out from the camp suggest that fitness levels have improved.

Camp attendees:

A category: Azhar Ali, Shoaib Malik, Sarfraz Ahmed, Yasir Shah, Mohamad Hafeez, Mohammad Amir.

B: Babar Azam, Imad Wasim, Asad Shafiq, Hasan Ali, Wahab Riaz, Rahat Ali, Haris Sohail.

C: Sami Aslam, Shan Masood, Sohail Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Junaid Khan, Ahmed Shehzad, Mohammad Abbas, Shahdab Khan.

D: Mohammad Nawaz, Asif Zakir, Usman Salahuddin, Amir Yamin, Usman Shinwari, Fahim Ashraf, Ruman Raees, Imamul Haq, Bilal Asif, Mir Hamza, Umer Amin, Mohammad Hasan, Mohammad Asghar, Mohammad Rizwan.
