Hafeez Drops Bombshell: Azam Khan’s Fitness a “Concern,” Team Covered 2km While He Lagged Behind

##

Karachi, Pakistan: A shocking revelation has emerged regarding Pakistan’s young batsman, Azam Khan, with former all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez casting doubt on his fitness levels. In a recent interview, Hafeez shared a concerning anecdote from a recent training session, stating that while the rest of the team covered 2 kilometers, Azam “lagged behind significantly.”

“It was a simple fitness test, running 2km. The whole team was able to complete it, but Azam struggled,” Hafeez revealed, adding, “This raises concerns about his physical condition and his ability to compete at the highest level.”

Hafeez, known for his own rigorous fitness regimen throughout his career, expressed disappointment, emphasizing the importance of physical fitness in modern-day cricket. “This is not a personal attack on Azam,” he clarified. “But if he wants to succeed, he needs to improve his fitness, otherwise it will be difficult for him to perform consistently.”

This revelation comes as a major blow to Azam, who has been struggling to find his footing in international cricket. Despite his powerful hitting ability, he has been criticized for his lack of agility and stamina. With the upcoming T20 World Cup looming, this revelation adds another layer of uncertainty to his selection prospects.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is yet to comment on Hafeez’s statements. However, it remains to be seen if this public criticism will prompt Azam to address his fitness concerns and prove his critics wrong.
