Shoaib Akhtar Considered for Key Role in Pakistan Cricket Board Restructuring
Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar is being considered for a key role in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) as it plans changes following a disappointing 0-3 Test series loss in England. Akhtar met PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi, who offered support during a personal loss, strengthening their relationship. The board is also exploring foreign coaching appointments and aims to improve performances across men's, women's, and junior teams, including appointing a long-term head coach for the women's team.
