Meanwhile, former Sri Lankan pacer Dhammika Prasad sharing his views on fitness tweeted, “Fitness is number one. You can be super fit in general stuffs, when you coming the to the game required only game fitness, that’s what happened to me that what happened to that for some players, always you can’t depend on it, game fitness much more important than anything.”

Meanwhile, Australia is set to play Afghanistan for a one-off Test before the much-anticipated Ashes gets underway. Speaking about the same CA’s interim Chief Executive Officer Nick Hockley said, “We’re thrilled they’re able to come this year. It was a huge disappointment they were unable to tour last year [due to Covid-19 enforced rescheduling]. I’ve been speaking to the Afghan ambassador here, and I know the entire Afghan community in Australia is extremely excited so I’m certainly hoping as many of them as possible will be making the trip to Hobart.”
