Angry Wasim Akram lashes out at his critics

Pakistan fast bowling great Wasim Akram has lashed out at some former stalwarts who refused to apply for the head coach’s position of the national team because of his involvement in the process of shortlisting the candidates.

Without taking names but in an obvious reference to former Test cricketers, Mohsin Khan and Aaqib Javed, Akram said he was disappointed to know some former players didn’t want to apply because they felt the Pakistan Cricket Board had already been advised to appoint a foreign coach by him and another former captain Ramiz Raja.

“What sort of attitude and mindset is this. One former player said I will apply and talk directly to the Chairman.  When you have such a mindset how can one expect them to work well with the Pakistan team,” Akram told Geo News channel.
