imageFormer Zimbabwe batsman Grant Flower has criticized that Pakistani players are not as hard working as far as fitness is concerned saying our players are very inconsistent with the way they practice.

According to media reports Flower said, “The Pakistan cricketers need to work harder and sacrifice more if they want to do well for their country as playing at the international level require players to have an organized lifestyle. “It requires a lot of sacrifice to play for the country.”

He said, “You can break it down - mental side, reading about the game, being a good student of the game, learn every day, lifestyle, gym work, and all those things required to be a better cricketer.”

Recently, the Pakistan cricket team has showed very dismal performance during the last few tournaments.

Flower believed that Pakistan would have done way better if the players focused on getting the best out of their practice sessions.

“Our players are very inconsistent with the way they practice,” said the former Zimbabwe batsman to ESPN Cricinfo.

Flower, who was appointed as the Pakistan batting coach in 2014, "Of course, there are a few exceptions, and it's not surprising that [those players] have better records and have been more successful over a long period of time,” he added.
