Stamina is not a natural thing. It is built. I have seen slim as well as well built kids develop stamina. All cricketers are fit. 90% of those cricketers who make international teams start playing nets right from age of 6 years.So it is almost a decade years of daily nets practice' date=' club level matches which make them fit to play 50 overs and test cricket even though stamina does not naturally comes to everyone. It is developed from the time they join nets and continues to improve as they attend nets and play matches often. It's not the stuff of unfit people to play even 40 overs cricket. I have observed that some people even struggled to stand in the heat for the course of 50 over matches we played. To believe that cricketers who play 50 overs and test cricket are unfit is unimaginable. Having played 50 overs matches, i would not say that to any of the cricketers at least in the aspects of fitness.[/quote'] International cricketers can be unfit - relative to their playing field. Most of them are much fitter than the average domestic cricketer. Kapil dev used to be extremely fit - he could bowl 30 overs on the trot. Once in test match at Ahmedabad vs WI, he kept bowling from one end for a very long spell. These kind of players rarely get tired after a match day - but not every international player is like this. They may not get visibly tired, but their lack of international quality fitness will ultimately show up in their results.
