In a recent interview with Cricket Pakistan, Wasim Akram revealed why he has never coached the national team. Former Pakistan captain and fast bowling legend Wasim Akram has displayed on why he hasn't or doesn't want to teach the national cricket team. Akram, who won the 1992 tourney as a player and captained the team to the ultimate of the 1999 ICC World Cup, has coached in franchise T20 leagues. He was a part of the support staff of the Indian Premier League (IPL) team Kolkata Knight Riders and has also been related to several Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchises over the years.
In a recent interaction on the show 'Cricket Corner' on Cricket Pakistan, Akram was asked why he has never coached the national team, to which Akram said that he won't be ready to give the time that a full-time work demands.
"When you become the coach, you would like to offer a minimum of 200 to 250 days a year to the team and that is plenty of labor. i do not think I can manage most work faraway from Pakistan, from my family. And because it is, I spend time with most of the players within the PSL, all of them have my number and that they keep posing for advice," Akram said within the interview to Cricket Pakistan.
