Former Pakistan cricket captain and bowling legend Wasim Akram will train
fast bowlers for the national team.
The channel sources added that Akram, Pakistan's leading wicket-taker
who retired four years ago, will supervise a special two-week camp in the eastern
city of Lahore from mid-May.
Wasim's decision comes after new Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik
said he wanted to emulate him and it will boost Pakistan's efforts to recover
after their dismal World Cup.
Akram retired from international cricket with a world record
502 one-day and 414 Test wickets. He led Pakistan to the runners-up
spot in the 1999 World Cup.
