Pakistan Super League, which will be held in Dubai and Sharjah in February has former Pakistan bowling coach Muhammad Akram as their head coach and Andy Flower will be their batting consultant and mentor.

Mohammad Akram, a former Test pacer, said that Saeed Ajmal was back to working with Saqlain Mushtaq on his bowling action and in present circumstances he could take the biomechanic test in two weeks time.

Sources close to the team have claimed the bowlers have little respect for Akram and primarily don't take his advice or tips seriously.

Pakistan on Thursday launched a search for its first ever full-time batting coach in a bid to boost an area of the side's game that has let it down in major events.

Flamboyant Pakistan all-rounder, Shahid Afridi has left for the United Arab Emirates with a plea to his teammates to play as a united outfit against Australia during the one-day series starting on Tuesday.

Former Test cricketer Mohammad Akram has been appointed as Pakistan's bowling coach for a period of one year.

Confusion prevailed over appointment of pacer Mohammad Akram as the new bowling coach of the Pakistan team with a PCB official denying any such development even as the news appeared on a cricket website on Sunday.
