Shoaib Akhtar has always been regarded as someone who speaks his mind out and never shies away from a battle. In what seems like a great news for Pakistan cricket, the former Rawalpindi Express, who holds the record for the fastest ball ever recorded at 100 miles-per-hour, has been assigned the role of an advisor to the chairman of Pakistan cricket.

Announcing this on his Twitter, the head of PCB Najam Sethi also revealed that the pacer will also take the role of the board’s brand ambassador.

Meanwhile, the former pacer displayed his gratitude from the microblogging site. “Looking forward to work with @najamsethi and #pcb to take PAKISTAN cricket to the next level,” he wrote on his Twitter.

He also added: “[I am] honored to be chosen for these positions in @TheRealPCB, will work with same passion as i did when playing. Thank you once again.”

Given that Akhtar isn’t someone who minces his words, Pakistan cricket can expect him to give his honest opinion about pressing matters.
