A number of players will be picked for further development of the game and an opportunity to become the next Haris Rauf, Shaheen Shah Afridi, or Fakhar Zaman.
The selected players will also get a scholarship for a year to train in Qalandars’ High-Performance Centre.
It is worth mentioning that Qalandars’ Player Development Program is a globally acclaimed cricket development program that has produced several cricketers who are now serving various teams – domestically and internationally.
The program has provided millions of aspiring cricketers in the country hope to reach their dreams.
Commenting on the development, the CEO and owner of Lahore Qalandars Atif Rana said that the franchise is excited to resume its program which has, in past, provided Pakistan a star performer like Haris Rauf.
“We were unable to do this program for the last two years because of COVID19-related restrictions but now as things have improved we believe that it is high time for us to resume the much-celebrated program and find more talented players to serve the country,” said Atif Rana.
Aqib Javed, Qalandar’s director of cricket, said that he is hopeful to find more exciting performers from this trial.
“The PDP is not just a talent hunt project, it’s a complete development program which not only picks the talent but also transforms that talent into a performer, you’ve seen the example of Haris Rauf who was an unknown individual when he first arrived to appear in the trials and today he is one of the top performers in white-ball cricket,” said Aqib Javed.
