Re: Shoaib called up as Gul cover
In this article: BBC SPORT | Cricket | Shoaib to miss first Test in SA
PCB chairman Dr Nasim Ashraf says of Shoaib..“Physically he looks fit”
I guess he being a Dr (I presume a medical doctor), he can gauge somebody’s physically fitness simply by “looking”.
Also, the article says that Akhtar has bowled 21 overs (imazine 21 overs) since being left out of the squad…so his fitness levels must be tip-top.
Anyways, it will be interesting to see how things pan out during the SA series.
