Former cricket captain Wasim Akram, famously known as the ‘King of Swing,’ has declined offers from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to take on roles as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or advisor to the Chairman.
The PCB is facing criticism over its management, with concerns about Chairman Mohsin Naqvi’s dual role as Federal Minister of Interior affecting his ability to lead the board effectively. To address these issues, Naqvi approached Akram, hoping his expertise could help improve the PCB’s cricketing affairs.
However, Akram’s refusal has highlighted the ongoing problems within the PCB’s leadership. His decision underscores the significant challenges and dissatisfaction with the current management. Many believe Akram’s involvement could have been beneficial for the board and cricket in Pakistan.
