With England vs Pakistan 2016 series on the focus, team Pakistan is currently busy with their tough fitness schedule, to be conducted by Pakistan army at Kakul Military Academy in Abbottabad. Pakistan team was knocked out of the group stages of recent T20 world cup after displaying a poor show of run. However with some major changes in the selection as well as the coaching department, green shirts are set to invade the British soil after a long time. England vs Pakistan 2016 tour will be the first campaign of the newly appointed head coach Mickey Arthur as well. The former Australian is well aware of the challenges ahead of him as the Pakistani coach however the news regarding the fitness test of players conducted recently may not be much pleasing for him.

It has been reported that at the end of the training camp organized in Abbottabad under the supervision of Pakistan Army, almost half (15) of the 31 shortlisted team players have failed to pass the fitness test. Misbah Ul Haq however, along with Younis Khan, Shaan Masood and Fawad Alam are reported to have cleared the test satisfactorily. As reported by sources these fitness tests were comprised of long distance running, 100-metre sprints, hurdle sprints and steep climbing carried out by the Military trainers.

“What is of concern is that apart from few players rest have just failed to satisfy the military trainers and the Pakistan team fielding coach and fitness trainer Grant Luden in the fitness drills,” PTI quoted the source. “Misbah, Younis, Shaan and Fawad have maintained a consistent standard.”

“The PCB has made it very clear that fitness will be a key element while deciding the touring squad for England,” the source added. “One reason for the decline in the team’s performances in the limited over formats in recent months has been the general low level of fitness among the players. This fact had been highlighted by outgoing coach, Waqar Younis and the senior manager, Intikhab Alam in their reports after the Asia Cup and World T20.”
