The makers have also added an eight-man team of certified athletic trainers and fitness experts from the United Kingdom to train Shahid for the role. The makers have done this so that Shahid can get under the skin of a cricket player, thus helping him portray the character of a cricketer accurately. Shahid, however, is no stranger to the sport and has played for his college and at club levels in the past.
