Shoaib Akhtar wants to be India bowling coach, says can groom more pacers

I will produce more aggressive, fast and more talkative bowlers than the current ones who will tell-off the batsmen in a way that you will enjoy a lot, says former Pakistani spearhead Shoaib Akhtar

Former Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar has said that he is interested in becoming India's bowling coach if there is an offer, asserting that he can groom "more aggressive, fast and talkative" pacers.
 
Akhtar expressed his willingness in an interview on social networking app 'Helo'.
 
Asked if he would like to be associated with the Indian bowling unit in future, he responded in the positive. Bharat Arun is India's current bowling.
 
"I will definitely. My job is to spread knowledge. What I have learned is knowledge and I will spread it," Akhtar said.
 
One of the fastest bowlers to have played the game, he added, "I will produce more aggressive, fast and more talkative bowlers than the current ones who will tell-off the batsmen in a way that you will enjoy a lot."

 
He said he has always wanted to share his knowledge among budding cricketers and that he is looking to produce more aggressive bowlers.
 
He also added that he would like to "coach" IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders, for whom he has played in the cash-rich T20 league's inaugural edition.
 
The former pacer also spoke about his early interactions with Indian batting great Sachin Tendulkar in the 1998 series.
 
"I had seen him but didn't know how big a name he was in India. In Chennai, I got to know that he was known as a god in India.
 
"Mind you, he is a very good friend of mine. In 1998, when I bowled as fast as I could, Indian public celebrated with me. I have a big fan following in India," Akhtar said.
