"I have not met Ashraf but I consider he is very good organizer. The bank of which he is the president is doing extremely well. He should run Pakistan cricket as if he is running his office. You don't have to be a cricketer to run the PCB." Akram's proposal is that Ashraf must make a cricket group.
"But Ashraf must absolutely make a cricket group. That should be high on his program. It should consist of three or four ex-cricketers, who will make honest and impartial opinion and are not 'yes men'.
"The decision of the cricket committee must be appreciated and Ashraf must not poke his nose in everything. Ashraf's main challenge will be to put the house in arrange and I can only wish him well."
Akram, in his column, spoken his worry about the anxious times that Pakistan cricket is at present into.
"Pakistan cricket has gone all through a lot of disorder in recent times. It can ill-afford to have any more. The spot-fixing saga did not paint a good picture of Pakistan cricket and now the trial in UK is causing some discomfiture for sure. But sense must prevail as the media should not get approved away by the allegation Mazhar Majeed is making."
"Majeed is cause harm to Pakistan cricket. I hope better intelligence prevail as we are listen to a fellow who is not severe about his life. He has upset off names like Pervez Musharraf and Roger Federer. This is crazy. More than three-fourths of what he is saying is false!"
On the cricketing front, he said that senior cricketer Shoaib Malik necessary his selection in the national team during the series versus Sri Lanka.
"A Test series eternally provide the stage for players to show their worth. While someone like Umar Akmal will consider about his prospect and the wasted opportunity, men like Shoaib Malik must now try and validate the faith the selectors have put on him once more."
Akram feels that Malik is a helpful cricketer and should stay left from politics. "Shoaib has seen a lot of ups and downs in his career. He has been a former captain and understands the value of team spirit. I think Shoaib is a very useful cricketer as long as he knows that he wants to help out the youngsters and keep safe distance form politicking."
He also added: "Shoaib has been absent from international cricket for close to eight months now and this hole would have given him the time to believe about his future and how he must conduct himself.
"He must enjoy his cricket now. He still has concerning three-four years of cricket left in him, during which he must hold up his seniors, his captain and adviser the youngsters.
"Hopefully, he will do justice to his place in the young squad."
