"I put on weight even if I drink water" : Umar Akmal

[MMHS]

Lol, just shows the mentality and how much UA really wants to play for Pakistan. If he really wanted to play for Pakistan he would try extra harder to get fit.

What that poor fellow will do - stop drinking water to play for Pakistan? Don't be so harsh with the man. Kismat ne mara unko, born with an unique problem.

He must have some unique hormone in his gene, which can bring revolution in poultry & livestock industry, if the scientists can identify the code ..............

Proper way to use abbreviation like that (to refer to anyone or anything) is to first mention real name one time and then use abbreviations in rest of the post, this way everyone has an idea whom you are referring to!

One of my nephews was talking about his school in abbreviation as well (don't remember any details now) but he forgot to take in to account the fact that I don't live in Lahore

Thanks for the advise englishman...

What he says is partly true.

Genes decide if you're prone to storing lots of fat or not. Two people eating the same diet with same activity - one could end up gaining more fat.

But, he obviously went OTT by mentioning water.

And, for a sports athlete, this excuse doesn't hold true, as they must train extra because of their genes.

As a medical professional, I very well understand that no two people have the same metabolism, but that is not an excuse. If you have a slower metabolism, you have to work extra hard. As I said, Umar simply does not have the character. He is a lost cause and we should move on.

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

I put on weight by reading this load of tripe.

 

[proud_pakistani]

I can understand his metabolism is a little slow but he is at the end of the day a professional sportsman. If a guy doing a desk job told me something like that I would still have some sympathy, but this is his bread and butter. If his metabolism is slow he should take help from a dietician rather than live off BBQ. I see this problem directly related to education. Also, when trying to lose weight portions matter a lot. I wonder what his portions are.

Not sure why did not his water convert into fat up until an year ago.

He was one of the fittest cricketer on the field.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Loo what a fool.How was he fit then for the first 5 years of his international career.

He now looks more like Kamran than his old self from 2012.

 

[Haripotter]

Akmal junior has opened a science book from primary school that says "65% of human body weight is water" and then got the master excuse to say to the world about weight gain from water intake for not being fit

 

[abughio]

I dont know who is fool.. him or pcb..

 

[Hitman]

If only that were the case, the world would have been saved from malnutrition and hunger problems. People could remain healthy with their desired weight simply by consuming water. Does he even know that water has ZERO calories?

 

[leatherface58]

Wasim Akram had diabetes and he still kept playing at the highest level. Umar is embarrassing himself with his stupid excuses.

 

[Diffusion]

What's a BBQ diet and how's that going to help him get fit?

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Yet another gem by a Pakistani cricketer.

Stay away from Pak cricket Umar and go play tamasha leagues

And don't forget Shoaib Akhtar, who was in constant pain after each games. Had fluid extracted from his knees...

Pakistani batsman Umar Akmal says his genes are to blame after being dropped from the West Indies tour.

While talking to Waqt News, the middle-order batsman explained that he and his brother Kamran Akmal are prone towards weight gain, no matter how much they control their diet.

“Even if we only drink water, it increases our weight,” he said. “Only our brother Adnan has a biological system which does not show his heavy diet on his body,” he further added.

While sharing his recent diet, the junior Akmal said that he has been on a BBQ diet for the last two days. “Along with that I am only taking salads and water but even this shows on my body,” Akmal said.



Umar Akmal was only player who was not selected for upcoming West Indies tour because of lack of fitness.

Meanwhile, elder brother Kamran has made a comeback in both the T20 and ODI sides after impressive showings in the Pakistan Super League.

I did not know he is that stupid

 

[sl-fan-of-pak]

lmao, obviously 1L of water increases your mass by 1kg.

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Any inside news ?

How much weight he has lost if any ?

He scored 18 on the fitness test conducted recently.Someone said this in Dr Nauman Niazi show.

18 in yoyo test ? What was his earlier score when he failed ? 16 ?

Yes 18 on yoyo test conducted by a domestic trainer.I heard Aqib Javed saying it was below 16 or 15 when he failed the the test.

Thank you. Minor improvement. Hafeez should be rested in one of the warm up matches and Umar should be sent at number 4. If he performs than He should play at 4 if Hafeez fails in couple of matches. Umar should not be picked for number 5 or 6 position. He has never played a match winning innings at those positions barring his 2nd Odi and his innings vs Afghanistan. He doesn't have finisher temperament whether its setting up a total or chasing. His stats at number 5 & 6 are misleading when it comes to team results. Mickey must realise this.

But will Hafeez give his position to Umar.Highly unlikely.

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Mickey can rest him in warm up match. Umar should replace hafeez provided :

1. He scores in warm up match

2. Hafeez fails in first two CT matches


Team management can than drop hafeez.

 

[Pete Rose]

No one will be surprised at Akmal's output at CT
