shoaib stated today on ary one that for the past few yrs ppl just kick me out based on lack of fitness....whereas they never ever even try to ask him as to whether or no hes really unfit??? i mean thats very bizarre, ask the guy himself or take some analysis or tests and then such decisions... 😕

seriously ask shoaib akthar first and then take decisions 😕 ... i always see akthar fine in practice every time such news appear from the media!!! 😕

though i do hope to see him in the 20/20 cup in SA in Spetember wid the pak team!
