With the domestic cricket season just over two weeks away, the Tuskers franchise cricket team have organized a three day team building camp scheduled for a farm near Turk Mine from the 24th to the 26th of this month. The camp will see the team engage in some team building and strategic planning activities ahead of a season that promises to be both exciting and competitive.

The Tuskers squad began their pre-season training in July under the watchful eye of the seasoned and widely travelled former Zimbabwe captain and now Tuskers assistant coach Heath Streak, and according to him the team has shown a lot of commitment and determination in preparing for the new season.

"The guys are raring to go. They have been working on their fitness and would have started really getting into it now. The camp would give us a chance to strategize on how we will approach the three formats of the game, namely 4 day game, one day game and T20. We will be travelling with a psychologist and the team fitness trainer who will help us out," said Streak

Team captain Gavin Ewing believes this season will be a better one as the players are in an excellent frame of mind and the team spirit is great.

"The guys are very excited about the camp. It will give us the chance to get to know each other in a different environment hence understand each other better. We have been working hard for each other and everyone wants to see the next player succeed. At the end of last season we showed the type of cricket we are capable of playing and we will be looking to pick up from there and win some trophies this season," said Ewing

Ewing also expressed appreciation for the support the executive team had given them during the pre season period and said with continued support and the hard work the team is putting in, they were confident of putting in a formidable challenge for the honors this season.

Meanwhile, the planning for the coming season has gathered momentum with the entire Tusker’s team holding a strategic meeting last month and an annual general meeting for the Tuskers franchise management committee scheduled for the 26th of August at Queens Sports Club.
