PCB could rope in Shoaib Akhtar as a bowling consultant
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterLinkedinWhatsapp

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is thinking of hiring former speedster Shoaib Akhtar to serve as the national team’s bowling consultant.

The fastest bowler in the world may be handed a crucial role in the coming days, according to sources.

According to sources, the former fast-bowler has already been approached and has expressed interest in helping to raise the level of play among the players.

Akhtar will shortly visit Najam Sethi, the head of the PCB Management Committee, in Lahore, where he most likely would be given a position on the board.

According to additional sources, Akhtar had expressed interest in enhancing the board’s policy-making process.

The Rawalpindi Express advocated on behalf of the Pakistani team on numerous occasions after he retired from cricket.

Despite not having the cleanest of movements, the “Rawalpindi Express” emerged as the fastest bowler of his generation.

His long run-up and the albatross-like celebration after every dismissal made him a spectator favorite, but his volatility frequently caused management issues for the squad.

He was never able to fully focus on his game due to claims of ball tampering, multiple disciplinary issues, punching teammate Mohammad Asif with a bat in 2007, drug charges, and other controversies.

Since making his debut against the West Indies in 1997, the fast bowler has played in just 46 Test matches, taking 178 wickets, and he was thought to be weak against the longer form of the game.

He was more regular in shorter formats, having played 163 one-day internationals, claiming 247 wickets.
