Pakistan's chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haq has demanded seaming pitches for preparation, for the upcoming England tour next month.
According to NDTV SPORTS, Inzamam has told the PCB's chief curator that players who attend the camp from May 29 in Lahore should be given fresh seaming pitches, similar to what they will encounter in England, for practice.
Inzamam has also convinced the Pakistan Board to send the team two weeks prior to England to set up an acclimatization camp in Hampshire County before the tour officially kicks off in late June.
Around 31 probables are currently attending a boot camp at the military academy in Kakul to raise fitness levels for a tough international season ahead of the Pakistan team.
The camp will start from June 16 in Hampshire County and may continue for two weeks. The final approval for the camp will be given by PCB Chairman Shahryar Khan. Even though Pakistan ranks among the top three Test sides in the ICC rankings but critics have questioned the batting performance, which is mainly restricted to the friendly conditions in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.
Pakistan is scheduled to undertake a long tour to England from July to September during which they will play four Tests, five ODIs and one-off T20.
