Shoaib Akhtar is in media again by recent comments he gave on coaches in cricket. He said the coaches are being paid heavily which is unnecessary while the performance of the team is due to the hard work of players. The teams can win without coaches too. According to him, he has never learnt a single skill from any coach.

There is no need of coaches in cricket, in this way the heavy financial spendings can be save. The coaches isd a new concept which had not ropom in early cricket while now a days it become a fashion to appoint coach on heavy remunerations which is unnecessary.

 Pakistani fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar back in the national squad for next months Champions Trophy and sources in the Pakistan Cricket Board PCB said Wednesday that the national selectors wanted to judge for themselves whether Shoaib is fully match fit by watching him in action during the three practice games at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.

Which were supposed to be played from Aug 5-9 but the opening game was washed out the other day and according to forecasts, heavy monsoon rains are expected in Lahore during the rest of the week putting a question mark on the other two games to be played Aug 8 and 10 and the problem for Pakistan is that Shoaib is not the only key player with doubts over his fitness. Umar Gul, too, is yet to prove his match fitness while senior all rounder Shahid Afridi and left-handed opener Salman Butt are also plagued with fitness problems. The national selection committee has to finalise Pakistan`s 15-man squad for the Champions Trophy by Aug 11 a day before the International Cricket Council ICC deadline for submission of final squads for the eight-nation tournament to be played from Sept 12-28. The four players including Shoaib will be drafted in the Pakistan team subject to fitness. The Champions Trophy is still around five weeks away and the players will have plenty of time to prove whether they are match fit said a source pointing that the PCB might arrange for practice games later this month if the Lahore matches as disrupted by rain. Shoaib 32 has not played for Pakistan since featuring in the fourth one-dayer against India in Gwalior last November. Since then he has been out of international action because of injury problems or suspension due to disciplinary breaches. Pakistan are eager to have him back in the team after they flopped in the Asia Cup at home earlier this summer. Their toothless bowling attack was blamed for Pakistans defeat in the 6-nation tournament.

Shoaib Akhtar the world fastest bowler suddenly appeared in Qaddafi stadium Lahore practice session. He participated in the net and did some bowling. He looks fit and energetic and also reduce his weight during his disappearance. Jeff Lawson and captain Shoaib Malik welcomed his interest in cricket.

When Shoaib akhtar was contacted by the reportes, he dismissed the PCB  statement in which the board officials said Shoaib could not be contacted. He said nobody from the board side contacted him. Regarding the central contract he refused to sign on special category contract which is newly introduced by the board. He claimed that he is sincere with Pakistran cricket so the contracts does not effect his patriotism.

When he was asked about his bollywood activities, he denied about his interest in bollywood films at this time. He said , he has been offered 6 movies but he will take seriously only after retiring from cricket. He wish to play against Zimbabwe but the team management did not give him chance and now he is showing his keen interest in coming series against australia.

Actually i believe Pakistan cricket board is handling Shoaib Akhtar in immature way. Putting a great bowler in spoecial category is not a solution. The board should take steps to finalise this dispute because it already tarnish the image of the country cricket. He should be offered an appropriate category and if he does not fullfill his duties according to a contract then he should be kicked out from the cricket for whole life. Board is being hijacked by him many times. There is no doubt, he is a great bowler but becomming a disciplined man is more important than fastest bowler.

Pakistan cricket board has formulated a new conditions for Shoaib Akhtar to be included in comming Australian tour of Pakistan. The conditions are mainly of his fitness tests. He have to show his fitness level in domestic cricket.

If Shoaib is missing then how to implement the conditions. PCB is formulating its plans on paers only while the scenario is different. They should first contact him and ask him for his availability becuase he is showing more interest in showbiz rather than cricket. But now a days cricket is also showbiz. He have to choose either films or cricket.

Shoaib Akhtar is dancing with Indian girls in a disco. This is his life. No body can prevent him from this joy. Team management has issued him warnings many time but he dont care. I had also written before about his private life. Why the PCB is putting pressure on him. Let him do what he wants. He is disciplined and productive in the field. The team needs his performance which he is giving at several occasions. He should go on with his life.

I have some reservation. I do no not mind his dancing and going to night clubs but he should dance with pretty girls. The girls in the picture to whom he is dancing not upto beauty standard except one at his right. The left one even do not have one teeth.

However Shoaib keep it up in disco and also in the cricket field. We love you.
