'Team covered 2 kms in 10 mins, Azam Khan took...'

Former Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez has re-ignited the debate surrounding Azam Khan's fitness, amid the wicketkeeper-batter's poor form in the ongoing T20 World Cup. Azam has been criticised for his fitness and form, with the youngster failing to justify his selection in the team for the tournament. During a recent interaction on PTV Sports, Hafeez shared an interesting anecdote regarding Azam's fitness regime. Hafeez revealed that during his time as Pakistan's Director of Cricket, Azam was assigned a six-week fitness program.

However, Hafeez didn't any change in the player, while his stamina also decreased.

"When Azam Khan joins a training programme, he's the same weight 6 weeks later that he started with. His fat levels are the same. The whole Pakistan team can cover two kilometers in 10 minutes, while Azam Khan will take 20 minutes to cover the distance," Hafeez said on PTV Sports.

Hafeez also questioned Azam's professionalism and dedication while representing Pakistan, adding that he has been already been given too much time to work on his fitness.
