Fat's right - Inzamam slims down.
(From Agence France Presse)
Pakistan vice-captain Inzamam-ul-Haq, who has been the butt of jokes at grounds around the world because of his weight, has unveiled his new slim-line look.
The batsman, who played a crucial role in Pakistan's progress to their World Cup triumph in 1992, said that he had lost 23 pounds in the last six months.
"I want to look the same as I looked during the 1992 World Cup - a shy and thin boy," smiled Inzamam who boasts an international one-day record of 8,939 runs from 284 games at 39.20.
It was as a raw 22-year-old that he made his mark in the 1992 finals when he hit 60 off 37 balls against New Zealand in the semi-final before helping his side to a 22-run win over England in the final.
"It has taken a lot of sacrifice to lose weight but then if I had to be in the best of shapes, I had to do it.
"After all, this World Cup means a lot not only to me but to 140 million people back home who expect me to perform," Inzamam said at the Wanderers here on Friday.
