Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Shahryar Khan has termed the
national team's fitness level as 'worst' in the world, saying that the team lacks fitness levels of international standards.
Shahryar said that none of their first-class teams measure up to the minimum domestic standard of fitness, insisting that they have to take drastic steps by installing a culture of fitness, the Express Tribune reported.
Shahryar further said that their fitness levels are very poor, adding that their minimum level of fitness is only met by captain Misbah-ul-Haq and veteran cricketer Younis Khan. He added it is unacceptable to see rest of the players not attaining this level.
Pakistan endured a miserable Bangladesh series as the tourists were whitewashed 3-0 in the ODI series and subsequently lost the lone T20 to the hosts. As a result of which, Pakistan dropped to ninth in the ODI rankings.
Pakistan is currently playing the second and final Test against Bangladesh after drawn first Test in Khulna.
