Former Pakistan player Umar Akmal posted his pictures on Tuesday, June 11, to give a hint that he can be drafted into the squad for the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2024. In a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), he was seen flaunting his abs. However, netzines doubted his fitness and suspected its AI-generated or edited images.

Fitness has been on of the weakest point for the Pakistani cricketers and many, including Azam Khan have been criticised for their poor fitness standards.
