Bangladesh squad look supremely fit compared to Pakistan players

[MenInG]

Just speaking to Saj who is watching the game at Edgbaston and he tells me that Bangladesh players look like athletes and look much fitter than the Pakistan players.

Does that surprise us?

Also puts some question marks on our coaching staff - seems that the only way to make our players fit is via some Army camp!

Bangladesh cricketers are among the fitter group of players in the subcontinent. Barring Fizz(who suffered a shoulder injury) our players have been playing almost non stop.

Our boys also quite energetic in the field.

This has to do with haturi. He puts a lot of emphasis on fitness. Even someone like Shakib who doesn't look anything like a natural athlete is extremely fit.

The emphasis on weakness is why Bangladesh have had that extra edge lately

who's squad not?

 

[Rayyman]

Our most unathletic players: Imad (it's okay, he is spin all-rounder), Sarfraz (wk and capt. ), and Haris.

Junaid and Amir need more muscle.

Otherwise, the other 10 are good. Still 33% of squad needs to improve their fitness.

I would like to give credit to their physio, Bayjedul Islam, who is also a friend of mine that I met during his physio studies in Norway
