KARACHI, May 13: Former Pakistan skipper and pacer Wasim Akram on Sunday started a two-week coaching stint with the Pakistan Cricket Board and asked his countrymen to be patient with the national team after the World Cup debacle.
"What happened in the World Cup was regrettable and disappointing. But the past is history now and we must look ahead. Pakistan team still has lot of talent and some good young players coming up but we have to be patient and give them time to settle down," Akram said.
Akram is conducting the camp for fast bowlers and opening batsmen, with former Test player Mudassar Nazar, also the head of the National Cricket Academy in Lahore, helping him out.
