Karachi: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has found an unique way to tap budding talent as a launch of web portal is on the anvil in order to give the spotters an idea about the reservoir of talent in the region. According to information received, PCB will shortly launch a website on which any player, who believes he is good enough to be considered for competitive cricket, can post a short video of his batting or bowling skills and other details about himself and his career. “These videos will then be viewed on a regular basis by the coaches at the NCA who will assess the talent on display. If the coaches find anyone suitable for future consideration he will then be called to the NCA for a further trial,” one board official said.
The official pointed out that internet facilities were now available even in remote areas of Pakistan so the board was expecting a strong response when the website is launched. PCB and its selection committee has in recent times increased its stress on unearthing new talent and currently Pakistan‘s former captain and fast bowling great, Wasim Akram is supervising a short camp for young pacers in Karachi. However the bunch of pacers sent to the camp were selected by the national selection committee or regional coaches not by Wasim himself.
