'Pak fast bowlers lack stamina and physical fitness,' says Sarfraz Nawaz

Lahore, Dec 7(ANI): The future for Pakistan fast bowling is bright, but the players need to improve their physical fitness, according to former fast bowler Sarfraz Nawaz.

"Pakistani bowlers lack stamina and physical fitness, but they do have determination. Their cricket will improve when the physical condition of these fast bowlers improves - usually by bowling 10-15 overs as that makes them stronger," Nawaz told PakPassion.net.

"Look, right now there is Mohammad Talha and he is an up-and-coming bowler who is fastest in Pakistan - I have coached him as well. There is also the all-rounder Hammad Azam and he is also good. Apart from them, there is Junaid Khan, but he tends to become unfit. So, people need to think a little bit about his fitness because he really is a good bowler," he added.

When asked if Twenty20 is good or bad for cricket, Nawaz said: "Look, in my opinion, the future is in Twenty20 cricket because people go to these matches with their family for a short period. In 3 or 4 hours, people also end up having an outing, have a chat with friends, afternoon/evening you get to go out with their kids. So, I think this format will flourish in the future." (ANI)
