The sports world has been affected hugely in the present coronavirus pandemic. Though no matches are going on, the players have been instructed to continue their work on their fitness at home. Like many players, cricketers are also following the same pattern. However, a Pakistan cricketer, the 33-year-old Sohaib Maqsood has received a deep cut during the recent online fitness test.
Fitness is one of the most crucial parts of the sports in the present days. Though the coronavirus has forced to stop most of the regular activities in the world, including the sports, players need to continue their work on the fitness which can help them to restart their journey for their respective games soon after the pandemic gets over.
Pakistan national cricket team is also following the same rules as the Head Coach and selector Misbah-ul-Haq is currently giving importance to the fitness work during the present leisure period for the players at home. He and the trainer Yasir Malik are handling this situation through the online process.
During the online fitness test, Pakistan middle-order batsman Sohaib Maqsood received an injury due to an accident at home. He revealed that incident through his official Twitter account.
