Experts: Pakistani cricketers aren’t fit compared to Indian players

Pakistani players cramped up during their Asia Cup encounter against India in Dubai due to a lack of physical condition and a fast reduction in hydration levels, according to Dr. Waqar Ahmad, chairman of the Pakistan Anti-Doping Organization (ADOP).

Rehab expert Dr. Waqar told he was startled to see three of Pakistan’s top players cramp up during Sunday’s Asia Cup match, while the Indians seemed completely unfazed.

“In addition, I was taken aback to see three Pakistanis, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, and Mohammad Rizwan, looking very thirsty and weary. On the other hand, the Indians appeared calmer and more at ease “What he had to say was.

Dr. Waqar was asked what could have caused these cramps during a Twenty20 competition, and he cited two potential causes. “The importance of fitness in international sport cannot be overstated, and the level of fitness demanded is exceptional.

Based on my many years of experience, I would say that the Pakistani cricket team either wasn’t physically prepared for the match or didn’t drink enough water to keep them from passing out.”

He suggested checking the players’ nutritional status the day before the game and making extra efforts to keep the players hydrated throughout the harsh weather.

“Fitness levels certainly weren’t where they needed to be for such an event to take place in the such scorching heat. It’s also possible that the player wasn’t well-hydrated enough.

Take a cue from the Indians, who, fast bowlers included, have no trouble succeeding even while bowling in the blazing heat “His words.

“Even though the field was just as challenging as the last one, our cricket team still lost. The Indians continued to play as though the weather were normal.

The heat necessitates that the Pakistani team’s support staff ensure that the players are well hydrated and fed.

The Asia Cup is not your typical sporting event, and it’s being played in scorching conditions.

Although I have no doubt that Pakistan’s think tank is giving this issue its full attention, it is essential that each cricketer be given the care he needs to perform at his best.

To be able to handle their heavy workloads, fast bowlers and wicket keepers require specific care.”

As if that weren’t enough, Dr. Waqar also mentioned a slew of legal remedies that can help gamers better handle the extreme heat.

“In the world of professional sports, athletes must go to great lengths to ensure they are in peak condition for every game. It’s not a quick process to get players in better shape.”

A full night’s rest is also important since it allows the body to replenish lost fluids while the athlete is asleep.

“These cricketers need plenty of rest in between practices and games. Deep sleep is neutrally the best technique to promote muscle relaxation, which is necessary.

When it comes to the sleep patterns of Pakistani players, I have my reservations. There is an urgent need to improve their rest and sleep schedules so that they can achieve the level of fitness and hydration needed for international cricket.”
