The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is reportedly considering to appoint former pacer Shoaib Akhtar as the national men’s team’s bowling consultant.
Recently, the PCB had appointed Shahid Afridi to its management committee.
Akhtar might be given a key role for the national team in the coming days, as per the reports.
Reports suggest that the former ace pacer has already been contacted and he has also shown interest in working to improve the performance of the players.
Akhtar will soon be meeting the board’s management committee Chairman Najam Sethi, in Lahore where he will be offered a role in PCB.
According to the sources, Akhtar had also shown interest in playing important role in the policy-making of the board.
After his retirement from cricket, the bowler — also known as Rawalpindi Express — had several times raised his voice to make improvements in the Pakistani team.
