The Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Punjab Kings began a five-day off-season camp at the New International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh on Tuesday (August 11).
The camp is focused purely on skill development, giving players time to work on specific areas of their game away from match pressure, and will conclude on August 15, according to a press release from the franchise.
The six players in this camp are Prabhsimran Singh, Shashank Singh, Harpreet Brar, Pyla Avinash, Praveen Dubey, and Nehal Wadhera. The group brings together a mix of established squad members and emerging talent, giving the coaching staff a chance to work closely with players across different stages of their careers.
They will train under the franchise's coaching staff, with Trevor Gonsalves overseeing the sessions at the venue.
The camp comes as part of the franchise's off-season plans, with the coaching staff using this period to help players fine-tune their game. This camp is the first of many, planned through the off-season as part of a wider effort to keep players sharp and ready well before the season begins.
More camps, focused on different groups of players with emphasis on skill and fitness, will follow in the coming months, with the franchise using the off-season window to build a strong foundation for the year ahead.
