Akhtar asked to prove fitness
Karachi: Fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar will have to prove his match fitness in a series of matches next month before he is picked for the Champions Trophy to be held in Pakistan in September.
The trial games would be held on August 5, 7 and 9 in Lahore after the 30 probables named for the Champions Trophy, including Akhtar, attend a fitness training camp in Kakul, a military base in the mountainous region of the Northern Areas, from July 22.
Akhtar was picked in the preliminary squad for Champions Trophy inspite of the uncertainty over whether the PCB would clear him because of his ongoing legal battle with the Board.
