Pakistan batsman Ahmed Shehzad said everyone in the national team has become fat, with their bellies now visibly sticking out.
The fitness of the men in green has come under scrutiny on multiple occasions, and Shehzad feels insufficient attention is being paid to ensuring the players remain in shape.
“The players of the Pakistan team have all gotten fat, everyone’s bellies are sticking out,” he was quoted as saying by Khel Shel.
Pakistan are now taking on the West Indies in a two-Test series, but find themselves trailing 1-0 after losing the 1st Test by 90 runs.
The 2nd Test will be held in Trinidad and Tobago from August 2 to 6.
After this, the men in green will head to England to play a three-Test series from August 19 to September 13.
