Fawad Alam finally called for fitness, skills camp ahead of England tour

Pakistan superstar batsman Fawad Alam has finally received a call from Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for a fitness and skills camp ahead of the highly anticipated tour of England.

The Mr. consistent, who maintains a first class average of 55.37, could be a suitable replacement for either of the retired duo of Misbah Ul Haq or Younis Khan.

PCB has called all the centrally contracted and a few other players for a fitness camp, which will take place on April 9 and 10, followed by a skills camp which is scheduled from April 11 to April 23.

Fitness will be one of the priorities for the selection while selecting the squad for this all-important tour.

The Green-shirts will fly to UK at the end of the month to take on Kent in a four-day warm-up game before facing the Test debutants Ireland on May 11th.

Following the game, the Sarfraz XI will head to England for two Test matches.

Afterwards, they will take on Scotland in two T20Is, for which PCB may send three or four players from Pakistan, who have been in spectacular form in the shortest format of the game.
