Having started playing cricket at the age of 15, then giving it up and starting again about three years back.....which is around age 20, he will not have gone through the basics of fitness training. He has played only one FC game for SSC since 2015, he will have to play for at least another two full seasons and bowl as many overs as possible to determine whether his fitness levels are good enough for international cricket. SSC should give him more opportunities to play.
So are you saying it is hard for him to gain his fitness because he wasn't active in his growing years ? Lets say Ranathunga plays continuous cricket from age 12 to 20 and this guy misses cricket for 5 years and starts again at the age of 20. Ranathunga is overweight but this guy looks fit in appearance, is Ranathunga more fitter in cricketer terms than this guy ?
