Pakistan vs Sri Lanka ODI 2009: Shoaib Akhtar’s fitness question?

No doubt that Shoaib Akhtar is one of the fast bowlers in cricket world. He was kept out from the international cricket for 14 months. He was available for the Indian Primer League, when PCB. Now, he is regular for the international cricket and playing along side the Sri Lanka team in the three matches ODI in the home ground. But there is question about his fitness after the second match against Sri Lanka. Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik himself explains to the board about the condition of the last two matches and asked to find out the new face for the Pakistan team.

 Reuters reported:

Malik said: "We have to move forward. There are a number of good fast bowlers around on the domestic scene and they deserve a chance. I will take this up with the selectors and team management and these things will be kept in mind."

"If you look at his performances and record and matches he has won, there is no question over his effectiveness," Malik said. "But the question is over 100% fitness. Cricket has changed and if you aren't 100% fit then it is difficult." 

It is clear that the day of Shoaib Aktar has come to end. Even his IPL franchise is thinking to leave him. The notable think is that he was played in the side of Kolkata Knights Riders. What is his problem, his long run-up? As per as I remember that Pakistan most success blower Wasim Akram advice Shoaib should give concentration on technique than speed.
