Is Hyderabad's biryani the reason for Pakistan's sluggish fielding? Shadab Khan gave a strange statement

The path of Pakistani cricket team in World Cup 2023 looks very difficult as Babar Azam's team has lost both the practice matches before the World Cup starting from October 5. The defeat in the first match against New Zealand and then against Australia has exposed the weaknesses of the team. Along with batting and bowling, their fielding also remains a matter of concern for Pakistan.

Even during fielding in the practice match against Australia, two fielders in the outfield made such a mistake that the opposition team easily got a four. This scene was very embarrassing for a world class team and when Shadab Khan, who was captaining Pakistan in the practice match, was asked about his poor fielding, he gave a very strange statement.

He took aim at his own fielders in the post-match press conference, saying that it seemed as if the players were eating too much Hyderabadi biryani which was making their fielding sluggish. Shadab said in his statement, 'We are eating biryani every day, perhaps this is the reason why we are becoming slow.' 

It is noteworthy that ever since Pakistani players have reached Hyderabad, they are seen enjoying the world famous Hyderabadi Biryani. On reaching the hotel in Hyderabad, the Pakistani players were served plates of biryani, which they enjoyed a lot. It seems that the flavor has taken hold and has become very difficult for some players to give up.

Ground fielding and catching has been an issue for Pakistan for a long time. Shadab is one of those rare cricketers of Pakistan who is very good in ground fielding and catching. But apart from him and some other players, Pakistan's fielding has become a big headache for the management, so it will be interesting to see whether their fielding improves in the World Cup or not.
