“At Lahore Qalandars, we believe talent has no borders,” Rana said.

Lahore Qalandars have welcomed 16 young cricketers from Guyana and two coaches to Pakistan for a four-week high-performance training programme at the Smart Qalandars High Performance Centre in Capital Smart City.

The training camp, which commenced on November 13, aims to enhance the skills and professional development of the visiting players through specialised coaching, competitive match practice, strength and conditioning, nutrition management and technology-based performance monitoring.

The programme is being conducted by Lahore Qalandars’ high-performance coaching and support staff. Participants will also receive guidance on physical fitness, discipline and the professional demands of modern cricket.

Lahore Qalandars owner Sameen Rana said the franchise was honoured to host the Guyanese delegation, describing the initiative as a special partnership between the two sides.

He appreciated Guyana President Mohamed Irfaan Ali’s vision of creating greater sporting opportunities for young people and said Lahore Qalandars were proud to contribute to cricket development in the Caribbean nation.

“At Lahore Qalandars, we believe talent has no borders,” Rana said.

The franchise also acknowledged the support of Guyana’s Senior Minister of Sports and Culture Charles Ramson and Minister within the Ministry of Sports and Culture Steven Jacobs for facilitating the players’ visit to Pakistan.

Lahore Qalandars said the initiative demonstrated its commitment to promoting cricket internationally and providing emerging players from Pakistan and other countries with opportunities to benefit from professional training and high-performance facilities.

The four-week programme is expected to provide the visiting cricketers with valuable exposure to advanced training methods and professional cricket development standards.
