Explosive young batsman, Umar Akmal feels that he has become a more responsible cricketer as the ongoing fast track camp of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has helped him overcome flaws in his batting. "The coaching we have got in the camp has helped a lot," Akmal was quoted as saying on Sunday.
The PCB has organised a three-week long training camp for players in Lahore. As many as 12 batsman and 10 fast bowlers have been invited to practice in the camp under the supervision of chief selector Mohsin Khan and former Test players Sarfaraz Nawaz and Ijaz Ahmed.
The 21-year-old said he was looking forward to the upcoming Zimbabwe tour to prove his claims. "I am confident that on our next assignment in Zimbabwe I will play big innings to restore confidence of everyone in my batting," he said.
