Pakistan interim head coach Aqib Javed admitted on Saturday that fitness is the biggest challenge in 50-over cricket, urging the need to improve fitness levels a lot. Speaking at a press conference ahead of the highly anticipated India-Pakistan clash at the Champions Trophy 2025, Aqib Javed acknowledged that focusing on T20 cricket throughout the year can make it challenging for players to adapt to the longer format. He noted that after the initial 20 overs, the remaining 30 overs can be a struggle for the team to complete.
