Azam also discussed the team’s training regimen, mentioning the utilization of available facilities for practice sessions, with batsmen training at Better Ends and bowlers honing their skills on the field.

He noted past experiences playing in similar conditions and expressed optimism despite the unique setting of cricket being played in America for the first time.
