‘Where’s the fat?’ Umar Akmal bares all in fitness test

The Akmal brothers are not only notorious for their on-field shenanigans but their off-field actions often make it to the headlines as well.

And it appears that Umar Akmal has found himself in trouble once again after he reportedly misbehaved with staff during a fitness test at the National Cricket Academy (NCA).

According to reports, the 29-year-old batsman exposed himself amid a bout of anger during a fitness test.

“Where’s the fat?” questioned Akmal as he took off all his clothes after failing the skin-fold test. It is pertinent to mention here that while some reports say that Akmal completely removed his clothing, others say that he only took off his shirt.

Meanwhile, Kamran Akmal defended his brother’s actions saying that the entire episode was just a “misunderstanding”, and that Umar had done it in “mischief”.

Kamran also reportedly failed his fitness tests by substantial margins. He skipped two fitness tests, before finally making it to the third one only to fail in nearly all departments. And in an interactive session on Twitter later in the day, Kamran remarked that other than fitness, skills and performance are also important for selection.

now a days fitness has become a criteria for selection so everyone has to follow it…but i still believe in skills & performance which make a player match fit.
