PCB's outspoken critic Shoaib Akhtar now in line for major role after talks with Mohsin Naqvi: Report

Former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar is reportedly positioned for a significant position within the Pakistan Cricket Board following recent discussions with chairman Mohsin Naqvi. The talks occurred after Naqvi reached out during a period of bereavement for Akhtar, leading to a broader dialogue about restructuring national cricket operations and visiting training facilities.

This potential appointment coincides with a major overhaul following the men's team suffering a 3-0 Test series defeat in England, prompting the board to evaluate coaching and consultancy staff alongside plans for a permanent women's team head coach.
