Pakistan batsman Saud Shakeel said he has been working hard on improving his fitness and technique in the lead-up to the limited overs series against Australia.
He has only been picked for the three ODIs and started off by scoring three runs in the first ODI on Tuesday, which Pakistan lost by 88 runs.
“I worked hard on my fitness and technique back home. During off days from cricket, I attended an unofficial training camp in Lahore where I worked on my fitness and technique,” he said in a video released by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) as quoted by A-Sports.
The second ODI will be played on Thursday in Lahore.
