As they gear up for their highly-anticipated clash against arch-rivals India in the 2023 World Cup on October 14 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the Pakistan cricket team conducted their first training session in the city.
During the session, ten players, including stars like Babar Azam and Shadab Khan, participated in fielding exercises, displaying teamwork in their throws.
The highlight of the practice was an intensive bowling session overseen by bowling coach Morne Morkel, with a special focus on spinners like Shadab Khan and Mohammed Nawaz.
Left-arm pacer Shaheen Afridi demonstrated his skills in both bowling and fielding.
In the midst of an enthusiastic crowd, Afridi playfully promised a selfie, but only after taking five wickets, adding to the excitement as both Pakistan and India had commenced their World Cup 2023 campaign with two consecutive victories. It’s a thrilling time for cricket fans.
