Now as top four teams of the league compete in Super Cup which has been scheduled to begin from July 22. And Aimal plans to join his team.
“Because of the COVID-19 issue embassies are closed. I am waiting and when the situation will improve I will go to Thailand to join the team. Some Brazilian players have also been stuck at home because of the same issue,” Aimal said.
He said that in September the 2020-2021 league would also start. About his fitness during lockdown Aimal said he is training and is doing gym.
“I am training and is doing gym but I have not done any training with the ball,” Aimal said.
He said that there is no indoor hall in Swat and this is a big issue.
“There is no gym in Swat. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is producing top talent and I request the provincial government to establish some indoor halls around KP and particularly in those areas from where talent comes,” Aimal said.
