would set-up training camps in three different categories for junior players with an aim to bring forth new talent.
“We have plenty of talent and a great potential what we need is to provide opportunities to our youngsters,” newly appointed PTF Secretary Sanaullah Aman told APP.

talented players in the Davis Cup tie final against Thailand,” he said.
