Lahore: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has approved the installation of a state-of-the-art biomechanics laboratory at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Lahore.
According to Dunya News, the existing NCA building will be completed, while renovation and modernization work will also begin.
Director High Performance Aaqib Javed said the building has been part of the National Cricket Academy since 2006 and is now being upgraded through extensive renovation.
He said approval has been granted for the installation of a cutting-edge biomechanics lab. New cameras and advanced software have already been procured, and the facility will be equipped with the latest technology. A modern gym will be built on the upper floor, while a swimming pool will be added within the premises to aid players’ recovery.
Aaqib Javed said the new biomechanics lab is expected to be completed and fully operational within five to six months.
He added that the old cameras and equipment had become obsolete and were no longer suitable for use. With the new technology, coaches and analysts will be able to assess bowlers’ actions as well as batters’ and fielders’ performances outdoors, whereas previously biomechanics assessments could only be conducted indoors.
PCB goes high-tech with TruMan three machine
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has installed a high-tech TruMan 3 bowling machine at the National Cricket Academy, aiming to provide batters with more realistic and data-driven training conditions, officials said.
The system is designed to replicate match scenarios and allow players to practice against simulated deliveries that closely mirror real bowling actions.
Unlike conventional bowling machines, the TruMan 3 features a high-contrast LED display that shows animated bowler actions on a front screen. This visual element helps batters study the bowler’s approach, release point and timing before facing the delivery.
In addition, the machine enables coaches to fine-tune key variables, including line, length, pace, swing and height, offering a wider range of practice scenarios.
Coaches and players can also record and store individual deliveries, overs and complete spells. These saved sequences can later be replayed to recreate match-like situations during training sessions.
