Pakistan Players Preparing for Olympics, WWE & Not Cricket: Aamir Sohail

By criticizing the current management of the team after the lousy performance of Sarfaraz Ahmed’s men in the T20I series against Sri Lanka, former Pakistan captain Aamir Sohail has delved into the new fitness regime for players that lacks focus on improving his skills.

Pakistan, ranked number one in T20Is, lost 0-3 to Sri Lanka in the three-game match recently played at Gaddafi Stadium.

“In Pakistan cricket these days we are concentrating more on fitness and it seems that we are preparing our players less for cricket and more for the Olympic Games or WWE Wrestling,” said Sohail, Pakistani journalist Saj Sadiq.

Recently, the newly appointed head coach-coach-boss Misbah-ul-Haq noted the deterioration of the fitness standards of the players and came out with a strict diet plan so that the players become more agile and fit in the ground.

The 43-year-old has said that Pakistan players will not have biryani or red meat meals rich in oil or sweet dishes.
