Former Pakistan cricketer Salman Butt showered praise on current Pakistan skipper Babar Azam and said that the batter has proved his fitness and scored truckloads of runs in the past 2 years.
Babar is set to play at the number 4 spot in Pakistan's upcoming 2-match Test series against Bangladesh, sources informed Geo News on Thursday. 'Babar Azam scored truckloads of runs in the last 2 years, he proved his fitness, he ran on the field and scored runs while batting first as well as second innings.
Things should go up but they are getting broken in the middle, which is wrong. So, this is the responsibility of the players to maintain their fitness,' Butt said on his YouTube channel. 'Entire Pakistan is talking about the fitness of the team and it brought a storm in Pakistan, players at the junior level were asked to run. This came after people said players weren't fit in the T20 World Cup 2024. No one questioned the physios or trainers, but instead, they started making players at the district level push hard for fitness.
Those who made errors are still there,' he added. TRENDING NOW The Pakistan vs Bangladesh Test series will commence from August 21. The first match is set to be played in Rawalpindi while the second match will be played in Karachi. The 2 Tests against Bangladesh will mark the first assignment of Jason Gillespie as Pakistan's new Test coach.
