Pakistan women’s cricket team training in Karachi
In January, the Pakistan Women’s Cricket Team engaged in rigorous training at the National Stadium in Karachi, guided by mentor Wahab Riaz.
The camp’s primary objective was to enhance the players’ skills in batting, bowling, and fielding.
Alongside on-field practice, the players were also working on their fitness and stamina through gym workouts, jogging, and swimming.
Wahab Riaz, along with his coaching staff, led daily sessions lasting four to five hours to refine the players’ technical abilities.
These initiatives were designed to strengthen the team’s performance and prepare them for forthcoming international competitions.
