“It was embarrassing today. They (won) it at the loss of two wickets… 280-290 is a big score…. the pitch is wet or not. Fitness level aap dekhe (you see the fitness levels). We are screaming that there has been no fitness test in the past two years. Now I take players’ names.looks like they are eating 8kg of kadhai and nihari daily. There should be some test. You guys are playing professionally, getting paid, playing for your country. There has to be a certain criteria.” 

Pakistan will next be seen in action when they take on South Africa on Friday (27th October). They have lost three back-to-back games and would be eager to win the next game.
