Sohail Khan is a real sport!
Sohail admits, "Back then, we went unprepared, thinking of it as a friendly match. But we realised soon enough that even the matches at the celebrity league are played with a high degree of competition. This time, we are better prepared and equipped."
Sohail has hired former Indian Test cricketer Balvinder Singh Sandhu to train his team for the second season starting in January.
Also Dr. Aijaz Ashai is been hired as a Physio-Coach. Dr. Ashai is an expert on injury prevention in sports, treatment of 'sporting' injuries, orthopaedic problems, cardiac rehabilitation, sports physical fitness training and physiotherapy treatment. Not only is he a reputed physiotherapist, he is also a physical trainer, a personal instructor, writer, and sportsman.
The dynamic Dr. Aijaz is focusing on the areas of fitness, injury prevention and treatment, as these aspects are as critical as the ability to bat, bowl and field for the team.
They've now been doing net practice for over five weeks. Balvinder says, "These celebrities are not regular cricketers, so we worked on the basics of the game. We first built their stamina, judgment of the ball, swing of the bat and bowling. The most important part is practicing match simulations." The coach informs since all the team members can't make it at the same time for practice, they are coached at different hours. He adds, "We did a lot of practice sessions with tennis balls to match their eye co-ordination and judgment of the ball. It will prevent them from being injured unnecessarily. Later, we graduated to using a season ball, and gradually increased the distance they had to stand at to catch the ball.
