Former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar is reportedly set to take a key role within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) following discussions with Mohsin Naqvi. The reports say Akhtar’s appointment is linked to planned changes within the PCB’s cricket set-up.
The outlets describe the move as part of a broader effort to reshape the PCB’s “cricket think tank” after Pakistan’s disastrous tour of England. While the articles agree on the general direction—personnel changes tied to performance after the England tour—they differ slightly in emphasis, with some focusing on the board’s revamp and others highlighting the specific meeting as the immediate trigger for Akhtar’s consideration.
Across the coverage, the core details are that Akhtar is a former Pakistan fast bowler and that the PCB is considering restructuring in response to recent results. The reporting does not provide full specifics of the exact responsibilities or timing of the role, nor does it include official statements confirming the appointment.
