Pakistani all-rounder Shoaib Malik has rejected the notion that athletes slow down with age and asserts that his fitness level is comparable to that of a player 25-year-old.
Shoaib is the top run scorer for Rangpur Riders in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). He regularly faces players half of his age.
Malik said in his statement: “Trust me, even though I am the oldest in the team, you can compare my fitness with a 25-year-old. What motivates me is I still enjoy coming to the ground and I still think that the hunger is there. As long as these two things are there, I am going to keep playing which is why I am not even thinking of retiring.”
Shoaib Malik is a Pakistani cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm off-spin bowler. He has represented Pakistan in all formats of the game and has been a member of the national team since 1999. Malik has captained Pakistan in several matches and has also played for various teams in domestic cricket leagues. He is known for his aggressive batting style and is considered one of the best all-rounders in Pakistani cricket.
