I’m fit, and… I’m playing: Fakhar Zaman breaks silence on fitness concerns

Pakistan opener Fakhar Zaman has come out in open to speak about his fitness and snub for South Africa tour.

Fakhar, who is a part of Markhors’ squad in the ongoing Champions T20 Cup, was asked about his fitness.

“I’m fit, and that’s why I’m playing, and if there is a chance, I will play. I started my career at the Champions Trophy, and I’m thankful that my performances were good and we won matches there. And in this Champions Trophy, my only effort will be to play well and win games,” Fakhar said.

Fakhar was one of the most notable absentees from Pakistan’s white-ball squads for the recently-concluded white-ball tours of Australia and Zimbabwe, respectively.
