The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief operating officer Salman Naseer acknowledged that lack of unity among the team and management was a part of the discussion during the Connection Camp held here.

Amid the ongoing turmoil in the Pakistan team, the PCB decided to host a Connection Camp on Monday aimed at establishing a clear and unified vision for the future of Pakistan cricket.

Pakistan's star cricketers, including white-ball captain Babar Azam, Test skipper Shan Masood, Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Rizwan, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha, Saud Shakeel, Shadab Khan, and Shaheen Shah Afridi, attended the camp.

Along with the players, white-ball head coach Gary Kirsten and red-ball head coach Jason Gillespie were also present during the camp.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was expected to hand over Babar Azam ODI captaincy as well for the upcoming white-ball matches, but the charismatic batter tendered his resignation around midnight on Wednesday to focus on his batting. Insiders suggest that it would not be easy for white-ball head coach, Gary Kirsten or the selection committee to appoint the next captain in the shorter formats.
