There has been a lot of speculation about the physical health of the Pakistani cricket team. People have been constantly talking about how unfit the team looks and a lot of fingers have been especially pointed at Sarfaraz Ahmed, the captain of the cricket team.
As soon as images and videos of the team in the UK started rolling in people noticed that Sarfaraz Ahmed did not exactly look his best… and Shoaib Akhtar voiced out his concern very bluntly in a video that went viral.

And after seeing how badly the team had performed, almost as if their heart wasn’t even in the game; everyone agrees that there is something holding the team back and they need to do a lot better. There were comparisons being made between the Indian and Pakistani team players and how there was a stark visual difference in their physical health.
Pakistani-British boxer Amir Khan noticed this because he offered his services to help get the Pakistani cricket team back in shape
He offered up his help to the PCB.
Would love to help Pakistan cricket team with some advise on how to stay fit and strong. How to be disciplined on food, diet and training. The team has talent but need to improve on Strength & conditioning and focus @TheRealPCB pic.twitter.com/GEUplrqdpP

Now I don’t know if Amir Khan is trying to help out of the goodness of his heart or because he wants the job as Pakistan team’s fitness coach once he retires from boxing. Whatever the reason might be; it’s not a bad idea. The team is in dire need of being whipped into shape.
A lot of people seem to think that the Pakistani team wouldn’t be able to handle Amir Khan as a fitness coach.

While others thought they needed to change their mentality before moving on to their physical health.

They cant stay fit. They cant eat healthy. They’ll have cheat day everyday. You cant change their attitude, body language. Shambles.

Pak team definitely need someone like you, as an inspirational & motivational psychologist plus a physio. They have acute mental strength, discipline as well as physical fitness issues.
Would be great to see, if you could have a session with them before the next WC match.— Aleem Latif (@aleemlatif) June 17, 2019
Clearly a lot of people have lost faith in Pakistan’s cricket team and I, among other Pakistani fans, have concerns about their performance in the rest of the World Cup.
What do you think about Amir’s offer? Let us know in the comments below.
