Despite claiming that there are a few fitness concerns in the team, the former skipper named three players who has the best physical fitness ahead of the crucial series.
Salman Butt has claimed that the new Test captain, Shan Masood is one of the fittest players of the team. Along with the new skipper Fakhar Zaman, and Mohammad Rizwan are the two other players who are among the fittest players in the team. Salman Butt took to his YouTube channel to talk about the Pakistan team before the start of the series.
Who are the fittest players in the team?
“Fitness improvements are on the horizon. It’s not accurate to say that all players are unfit. Shan Masood, Fakhar Zaman, and Mohammad Rizwan have proven their fitness, excelling in the gym and running well on the field. Their efforts place them among the world’s elite in terms of physical conditioning,” Salman Butt said.
Apart from the same, Butt also emphasized that there should be proper management of the fast bowlers. He claimed that the limited participation of the fast bowlers in first class cricket hampers their proper development in the long run.
Talking about fitness concerns, Butt also claimed how former captain Babar Azam remains in absolute top form. “Babar’s success on the field, both in the first and second innings, is a testament to the importance of maintaining peak physical condition. However, progress is being stifled midway, which is a significant issue. Players must take responsibility for their fitness,” Salman Butt concluded.
