Speaking on a local TV channel, former team director Muhammad Hafeez said that during the tour of Australia, when the team trainer was instructed to assess the fitness level of the players and create a new fitness program, he revealed that the former captain (Babar) And the head coach (Arthur) advised him 6 months ago that fitness is not a priority and allow the players to play as they wish.
He said that he was surprised to hear the answer that the team trainer has been instructed not to monitor the fitness level of the players.
Muhammad Hafeez said that during the tour of Australia, when fitness tests were conducted on some players, they could not even complete a 2 km run, the players’ body (fat level) was one and a half points higher than the normal limit.
