Have never missed a match due to fitness: Sharjeel Khan on weight criticism

March 23, 2021

Out-of-shape opening batsman Sharjeel Khan says that he is working hard to shed the excess kilos but is dismissive of the notion that his fitness (or lack thereof) can have any impact on his batting prowess.

"I do not have any fitness issues," he said in a virtual press conference.

"I have never missed a match due to fitness. I completed domestic cricket [season] and worked hard for seven months.

"I do not think I am under any pressure due to talks regarding my fitness."

Sharjeel has been put through a special training plan called Elite Player Fitness Program to trim down.

Giving details of the program, he said: "I am following the plan I have been given by trainer Yasir Malik. I am working individually. I ran for 15km in a single day."
