Team in good shape: new physical trainer
Pakistan hockey team’s new physical trainer Khwaja Rohail believes the players are ‘super fit’ after he replaced Daniel Berry in the role.
Rohail observed that players’ fitness was up to the mark and they are confident of producing good results in the Asian championship.
“It feels like that team has worked really well on their fitness,” Rohail said while talking to the Daily Express. “Players’ fitness has exceeded my expectations. Players scored on average 21 points in the yo-yo test, which cannot be called below-par.”

While answering another question regarding fitness, Rohail said: “The way these players are working on their fitness, I am hopeful that they will make it to the final of the Asian Champions Trophy.”
