Former Pakistani fast bowler, Shoaib Akhtar, emphasized the importance of confidence and communication skills for sportsmen during media interactions.
The Rawalpindi Express noted that current Pakistani cricketers struggle to respond to questions from the media and there is currently no superstar in the national team as no one can speak on camera.
Shoaib, who is now 47 years old, believes that if a sportsman lacks the courage to answer questions in front of a camera, it could impact their performance on the field.
When asked about recent management changes in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Shoaib commented on the unpopularity of Ramiz Raja when he was Chairman of PCB.
However, he stated that the current situation in the PCB is turbulent and unstable, and it is not the right time for him to accept any responsibilities within the board.
Rumors circulated that Shoaib was likely to join the PCB as Chief Selector for the national team after the interim management period ended last month.
However, Shoaib’s recent comments suggest that he is not currently interested in the role due to the prevailing situation.
Shoaib Akhtar was known for his aggressive and intimidating pace during his playing days and is considered one of the greatest fast bowlers of all time.
