Karachi, Apr 9(ANI): Pakistan cricket's foreign coach panel will kick off plans to improve the team's performance in all departments of the game, including players' fitness levels.

Pakistan head coach Dav Whatmore and fielding coach Julien Fountain have summoned all the players to the National Cricket Academy where they will undergo fitness trials.
The aim is to identify and assess weak areas in the fitness department, as the coaching panel is eyeing improvement in the team's fielding performance.
"The process will take two to three days to complete. All the players including the seniors and juniors will have to undergo the fitness test," the Express Tribune quoted Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Director Intikhab Alam, as saying.
The former Pakistan coach and manager said that the trials will be supervised by Whatmore and assessed by Fountain besides other members of the coaching panel.
Meanwhile, the PCB's top brass, including the coaching panel and selection committee, have also discussed arranging practice matches, featuring upcoming youngsters to identify new talent. (ANI)
