Wasim Akram on the prospect of coaching Pakistan: I am not a fool, don't tolerate misbehaviour

Wasim Akram started a career in coaching in 2010 when he was appointed the bowling consultant of Kolkata Knight Riders. But the 54-year-old said he will never be able to coach Pakistan due to various reasons.

Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram has absolutely no wish to coach the national team after saying that he won't be able to tolerate the negativity that follows after every defeat and also because he won't be able to spend most of the year away from his family due to his job. Akram turned to commentary after his playing career ended in 2004 and then started a career in coaching in 2010 when he was appointed the bowling consultant of Kolkata Knight Riders by the Shah Rukh Khan co-owned IPL franchise. He has since worked as the bowling coach of Pakistan Super League teams Islamabad United and Multan Sultans. The 54-year-old cricket legend is the current chairman and bowling coach of Karachi Kings.
