Shoaib Akhtar would have become the captain of Pakistan in 2002, but know what got in the way.

Pakistan’s legendary fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has made a big revelation. Pakistan team has a great legacy of fast bowlers and Shoaib Akhtar is the biggest name among those bowlers. Akhtar, popularly known as Rawalpindi Express, was offered the captaincy of the Pakistan team in 2002. But he himself rejected the proposal, said Akhtar.

Shoaib Akhtar is known as the deadliest fast bowler ever in international cricket. He holds the record for the fastest ball hitting 161 kmph. Good batsmen surrendered before this dangerous bowling of Akhtar. In such a way, getting the captaincy of Pakistan team was definitely not a big deal for him. But he had refused to become the captain of the Pakistan team on his own, Akhtar revealed in an event.

Akhtar did not accept the captaincy of Pakistan for ‘this’ reason
After retiring from international cricket, Shoaib Akhtar has always expressed himself through social media. He is also always in the news due to his blunt speech. In an interview with a Pakistani media outlet, Akhtar revealed that he had been offered the captaincy. In an interview, Akhtar said, “I was not fully fit. I could only play three matches out of five. I was asked for the captaincy in 2002. But at that time I could only play cricket for one and a half to two more years.”

“I supported fellow players, but the cricket board was very unstable then. The entire cricket board was in disarray. There was too much disorder in Pakistan at that time,” added Akhtar. In the same interview, Akhtar expressed his desire for the post of PCB chairman. PCB has seen many changes in the last few months. Najam Sethi once again assumed the post after Rameez Raja resigned as PCB chairman. Meanwhile, Akhtar has also expressed his desire to become the PCB president. Some important changes can be seen in the PCB in the coming time too. (Shoaib Akhtar would have become the captain of Pakistan in 2002, but know what got in the way.)
