Wasim ponders life after cricket
CASTRIES (St Lucia), April 7: Former Pakistan cricket captain and world record holder for most One-day International wickets, Wasim Akram has said he was “disappointed with his team’s performance” during the World Cup in southern Africa.
“We worked very hard but not even one player performed. Nobody clicked.” Wasim, obviously disappointed said: “We’ve been losing since Morocco. We worked really hard, but for some reason we didn’t click,” he said.
Wasim, who recently signed to play for Hampshire pledged his full support to the county. “I hope this will motivate them.”
As for his future role in Pakistan cricket, Wasim had this to say: “If Pakistan wants me to help, I am willing to help in any capacity. Whenever they want me, I’m there.”
Fully recognising his responsibility not only to Pakistan but to cricket in general, he said: “I have to give back. Cricket has been good to me for the past 18 years.”—PPI
