Lahore, July 09: Controversial pacer Shoaib Akhtar has declared himself ”hundred per cent fit” and said he would silence his critics by making a successful international comeback.
Shoaib further claimed that his current form will allow him to make a international return very soon.
Pakistan are currently touring Sri Lanka where they lost the Test series opener in Galle by 50 runs.
”I’m going to silence the people who are talking against me by making a successful international return soon,” Shoaib told Geo television. The Rawalpindi Express made it clear that he has no problems with his fitness and can return to national duty any time the team needs him.
”I must tell you that there were never any problems with my fitness,” said Shoaib.
”I was dropped from the Twenty20 world cup on medical grounds.
I’ve recovered from that and am 100 percent fit. I’m in the best form of my life and am training extensively,” he stressed.
