Three of Pakistan's players are deemed the fittest by Salman Butt.

The national men's cricket team's three fittest players were announced by former captain Salman Butt ahead of their two-match home series against Bangladesh, which is set to start on August 21.



Butt expressed worries about the national cricket team's fitness on his YouTube channel. Nonetheless, he argued that not every member of the Pakistani squad is unfit, naming Test captain Shan Masood, Fakhar Zaman, and Mohammad Rizwan as the most fit. 

"Fitness will soon show improvements. You can't claim that every player isn't healthy. Several of the players rank in the top 10 in the world of cricket in terms of fitness. You may observe the physical fitness of Mohammad Rizwan, Shan Masood, and Fakhar Zaman, as well as their high Yo-Yo Test scores. They run well on the field and are good in the gym," Butt said.

Fast bowlers are a concern because they don't play longer formats, FC cricket, or much Test cricket. You have to manage them. Not everything is developing the way it ought to. When this occurs, despite the fact that every player works hard, the team as a whole gets chastised for being unfit, and people won't look at the fit ones, he continued.


Salman Butt used star batter Babar Azam as an example to emphasize the value of fitness even more. According to Butt, after working on his fitness, Azam scored a lot of runs.

"In the past two years, Barbar Azam has amassed an enormous amount of run totals, demonstrated his physical prowess, sprinted across the field, and scored runs in both the first and second innings of batting. Things ought should rise, but they are incorrectly breaking in the midst. Thus, it is the players' obligation to keep up their fitness, Butt said.

"Everyone in Pakistan is talking about how fit the team is, and it caused a stir when junior players were required to run. This was in response to claims that players wouldn't be ready for the 2024 T20 World Cup. The district level players were being forced to push themselves to the limit for fitness, and no one questioned the physios or trainers. "People who made mistakes are still there," he said in closing.
