LAHORE, June 9: Former South African cricketer Jonty Rhodes arrives here on Saturday on a 'mission impossible' to improve fielding of the Pakistan team during a two-week training camp commencing at Qadhafi Stadium from Monday, ahead of Pakistan’s forthcoming tour of England.

The PCB has hired Rhodes, who earned a reputation as the greatest fieldsman of his era, to inculcate ‘fielding culture’ in the Pakistan team.

Rhodes is scheduled to arrive in Lahore early in the morning from Dubai.

He will also give tips to the youngsters besides conducting seminars during his stay.
