Haroon said that the reliable batsman Ejaz Ahmad Senior and lanky paceman Muhammad Akram would fly direct from Britain to Canada to join the team there. He said that all the players of the team were fit. Only one session is being held in camp from 9 am to 2 pm. Two players do batting practice and the others are engaged in fielding. The same routine will be followed on Tuesday.
