No, Wakim Akram is not going to be the next coach of Pakistan. AT least, there is no official word from anyone about it. However, Wasim Akram has expressed his desire for this post. He has stated that if he is given the job then he would be happy to serve his country.
Cricinfo reported:
"Coaching Pakistan is a matter of great pride. It is my way of returning something back to cricket which gave me so much," he told reporters on the opening day of the specialised coaching camp for fast bowlers at the Gaddafi Stadium.
Akram, along with National Cricket Academy chief coach Mudassar Nazar and coach Aaqib Javed, is supervising the seven-day long camp aimed at polishing the talent of 16 upcoming bowlers.
Well, Wasim Akram is an influential name in Pakistan cricket and he has good relationship with PCB too. Wasim was one of the top bowlers in the world in his time. However, I feel that he is too busy with his media job. I think that Wasim Akram should give more time to help young players to become better and matured instead of being too much in the media if he really wants to become the coach of Pakistan cricket team.
What do you think?
Wasim Akram is still one of the best bowler in the world ranking. He is followed by young generation. Now, i think he is the perfect name for bowling coach in Pakistan team. However, this former veteran bowler wants to service for his team. I hope PCB should not loss this player to be part of Pakistan team.
