However, Cheema feels that the coaching staff has made full use of the additional break, where they have had the luxury of working with all national team players – allowing them to try various combinations which could come in handy for the side as they prepare for a hectic cricketing schedule.
“You see, it’s sort of a new-look team,” said Cheema. “The players have the talent and potential, their morale is high and the combination of junior and senior players is gelling well. The preparation will help us too as the practice matches will play a huge role in removing the rustiness that may have crept in.”
“Sri Lanka are a tough opposition but our preparation gives us a lot of confidence,” added Cheema.
he PCB remains eager to keep the national side distant from controversies, both on and off the field, and according to Cheema, the players have been briefed and instructed about the behaviour expected from them.
Since the spot-fixing controversy, Pakistan has shown remarked improvement in restoring their tainted image. They have performed well in all formats including impressive wins against Sri Lanka and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 (Tests).
“The players were given anti-doping and anti corruption lectures. They were reminded how to behave on-field with the opposition as well as the umpires. Hopefully, the tour will be controversy-free,” told Cheema.
The Green Shirts, under the new leadership of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Hafeez-c76898, will kick-start their campaign by locking horns in the first Twenty20 on Friday, June 1 at Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium, Hambantota.
