It’s not uncommon for cricketers to face criticism for their performance on social media, and Azam Khan is no exception. However, his trainer, Shahzar Muhammad, has come out in his defense, saying that the criticism of Azam’s weight is unfair.
Shahzar acknowledges that a player should look fit like an athlete but notes that every sport has its weight categories, and cricket, unfortunately, does not have a division like boxing or UFC. https://urdu.geo.tv/latest/322962-
It’s important to remember that fitness and performance are not always directly correlated, and it’s up to the selectors and team management to make the best decisions based on a player’s overall abilities and contributions to the team.
Shahzar Muhammad added, “But I would say that Azam has a special skill set, and we should focus on that skill set. We should not criticize him for his weight. Rather, we should work with him to improve his fitness and performance.”
He further said that it takes time to improve fitness and cannot be done overnight, but he is confident that Azam will improve his fitness and make a comeback.

Shahzar Muhammad, the fitness trainer of Azam Khan, is defending him against criticism of his weight and poor performance in the T20 series against Afghanistan.
According to Shahzar, Azam’s weight falls into the heavyweight category, and every sport has a category for such players. He believes that Azam’s size helps him hit big sixes and has the best strike rate in the world against the best spinners. Shahzar also mentioned that Azam is mentally strong and dislikes criticism. He suggested Azam should be given more opportunities, just like Asif Ali was given.
Shahzar Muhammad also said, ‘Azam may lose his hard-hitting power in case of massive weight loss’.
It should be noted that Azam Khan lost 30 kg weight in 3 to 4 months during Shahzar’s training.
It should be noted that Azam Khan scored zero runs in the first T20 against Afghanistan and only 1 run in the second, while he was not given the third match. become
