NEW DELHI: Former Pakistan pacer Wasim Akram came down hard on Babar Azam's men after they suffered an embarrassing seven-wicket defeat at the hands of India in their ICC ODI World Cup match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday. Akram, who was known as the 'Sultan of Swing' during his playing days, also highlighted poor fitness as the reason behind Pakistan's lacklustre show against the Rohit Sharma-led side.
"I am concerned about the fitness of these players. Now there is no fitness test. When Misbah was the coach and selector, he used to get the Yo-Yo Test and other tests done. A professional cricketer should undergo a fitness test at least once in a month. If you won't do this, you will face this (defeat vs India)," Akram said on a Pakistan TV show.
