The rise in coronavirus cases in Lahore has also created problems for the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). 

Board officials facing issues with the young cricketers camp which was supposed to take place in the National High Performance Centre (NHPC). 

The PCB is yet to receive permission from the government to conduct the camp.

According to sources, a training camp was planned for cricketers who had been recently excluded from the national side or had been top performers in domestic cricket.

However, due to the recent spike in coronavirus cases, no decision has been taken.

The board officials maintain that they have asked the government for permission and are waiting for their response. 

NHPC coaches are supposed to work with players who had been dropped from both the white-ball and red-ball teams. 

The purpose of this camp is to work on cricketers with potential and bring improvements to their overall game.
