The ever reliable middle-order great of Pakistan, Younus Khan,vowed on Monday that the national cricket team will not let down the army who is currently training team at Army School of Physical Training in Kakul arranged by Pakistan Cricket Board.
“Everyone had a lot of worries and queries when the fitness camp was organised for the national team,” Younus said in a video interview. “As players, we also had a few queries that will happen at the camp; though, this is my third camp here but still we didn’t know what to expect.”
Younus also couldn’t hide his love for the army’s training regime,“I am a big fan now of the army’s fitness camp. I wish that I had trained with the army and their trainers during my youth as I would have been in better shape now.”
The right-hand batsman also vowed to deliver results, “I am saying this from the bottom of my heart that we gained a lot from here. We will now try as best as possible that we don’t let down the Pakistan Army and their trainers. We will try our best to fulfill all the expectations of our fans as players and as a team.”
However, Pakistan T20 captain Sarfraz Ahmed admitted the first few days of the fitness camp were hard with the army but the players are now enjoying it.
The 29-year-old thanked the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and army for joining hands and helping cricketers in improving their fitness.
The wicket-keeper batsman further said he hopes this camp will help the players now and in the future as well.
