Pakistan uses marble slabs for preparing themselves for Perth’s extra bounce ahead of 1st Test against Australia.
In an attempt to overcome the historical challenges faced by subcontinent sides on Australian soil, Pakistan’s cricket team has embraced unconventional training methods ahead of the Test series against Australia. The Men in Green have adopted unique techniques, including practicing with a marble slab in the nets, to acclimate themselves to the distinct conditions anticipated in the upcoming series.
The focus of this unorthodox approach is the renowned Perth surface, which is known for its extra bounce. The first Test of the series is scheduled to commence on Thursday, December 14, at this challenging venue. Historically, subcontinent teams have struggled to adapt to the Australian pitches, with the pace and bounce proving to be formidable adversaries, especially for visiting batsmen.
