Pakistan cricket's young wicketkeeper-batter Azam Khan receives a lot of criticism for his fitness and that too from his own country's former cricketers, who don't miss a single chance to troll him for his overweight. Despite being unfit, Azam has grown as a power hitter on an international platform.

Meanwhile, the 24-year-oldΒ  was, recently, seen working out on his fitness and the video of it is also getting viral on the internet. Many fans have appreciated and motivated him to keep working out, but there are also some fans who keep trolling him for his fitness. Azam, recently, talked about the criticism he receive and said that he can't shut everyone's mouth.

Watch the video here:

"I cannot shut everyone's mouth, if there is destructive criticism, keep it aside. Because those who write such things are often far inferior and have not progressed much in life. Those who label me as a pindi-pitched-based batsman should also observe my recent performances. While I respect their opinion, I do not play cricket to prove them wrong. Rather, I play cricket for my own satisfaction, and as long as that satisfaction remains within me, I will continue to play," said Azam.

I would have refused to play with this team: Aaqib Javed

Former Pakistan fast bowler, Aaqib Javed also talked about Azam's fitness, recently, and slammed the selectors for taking him in the squad for, recently concluded, T20I series against Afghanistan. He also said that if he has to play with him, he'd have refuse to play and advised Azam to attain some level of fitness before playing.

"I am not sure what sort of experiment this was. It's clear to me that no consideration was taken when selecting the squad for this series about what standard of skills and fitness levels are needed to represent Pakistan. If I was a player in that squad, I would have refused to play with this team. First, at least attain some levels of fitness before playing. Hopefully, they will have learned from this," said Javed.

Here's how fans reacted to the recent video of Azam Khan:
