ISLAMABAD: The former captain and ‘King of Swing’ Wasim Akram has denied an offer to join the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) as either Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or advisor to the Chairman.
According to the detail, Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Mohsin Naqvi recently approached Wasim Akram with the offer of the CEO or Advisor position to oversee the board’s cricket related matters.
However, Akram, who resides permanently in Karachi and frequently travels to Australia for family reasons, cited his inability to relocate as the primary reason for his decline.
Despite turning down the position, Akram assured Naqvi of his willingness to support Pakistan cricket voluntarily without compensation.
Following Akram’s decision, the PCB has shifted its focus to another former cricketing legend, Waqar Younis. Younis, who also resides in Australia, has expressed a readiness to move back to Lahore and engage with the PCB in a similar capacity.
