Shoaib eyes coaching job with Pakistan

CONTROVERSIAL former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar threw his hat into the ring yesterday to become Pakistan's next bowling coach.

Pakistan Cricket Board set up a three-man committee to find a suitable candidate but so far nothing has been finalized. "I am ready to be the bowling coach for Pakistan," Akhtar, 37, told reporters. "If the PCB contacts me then I will offer my services. It's an honor to serve the country and it can be done by helping the upcoming bowlers. It will give me a chance to pay back what the country has given me," said Akhtar.
