Legendary Pakistani cricketer Wasim Akram has turned down an offer to become the CEO of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). Akram, widely regarded as one of the greatest fast bowlers in cricket history, was approached by the PCB to take on the top administrative role.
However, he has declined the offer, citing his existing commitments and a desire to focus on his current projects.Akram’s decision comes as a surprise to many, as he has been an outspoken advocate for cricket reform in Pakistan and has expressed interest in contributing to the sport’s development in the country.
His leadership skills and cricketing expertise would have made him an ideal candidate for the CEO position. Nevertheless, Akram has chosen to prioritize his other commitments, leaving the PCB to continue its search for a suitable candidate.
The PCB is currently facing several challenges, including the need to revamp its domestic cricket structure and improve the national team’s performance.
The board is expected to continue its search for a CEO who can bring about positive change and take Pakistani cricket forward.
