LAHORE, July 7: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to set up the second phase of national training camp in Lahore instead of Quetta. The camp is to be held from July 10 to 23.

A day earlier, the PCB had announced that the camp would be held in Quetta and also named 22 probables to attend it.

“The decision has been taken in view of the backdrop of the flood situation in Balochistan,” a PCB spokesman said.

This would have been the first time that a national training would have been held in Quetta where the presence of so many star cricketers could hardly be seen in the immediate future.
