The 25-day camp will begin on 29 May during which they will undergo skills and fitness training at the Inzamam-ul-Haq High Performance Centre and will play as many as seven practice matches.
This camp is another step in the board’s efforts to provide quality facilities to the national women’s team to continue their preparation for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup Qualifiers later this year and the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup in early 2022.
The camp will be held in a bio-secure environment. The players and support staff will undergo pre-arrival COVID-19 tests on 28th May. Those testing negative will assemble at the National High Performance Centre in Lahore for their departure to Multan via road.

Those who test negative will commence training in groups from 31 May. The groups will be allowed to train together as a unit subject to testing negative for the third time in the 4 June test.
The camp will conclude on June 22.

During the camp, they were pushed to their limits for improvement in all facets of the game.
