Theres too much politics. Our board also becomes the enemy of the player the day he becomes captain of the team. The PCB should take help from former cricketers rather taking revenge or settling old scores, he said.

Akhtars career had been a roller-coaster ride as he remained in and out of the team due to various controversies,injuries and problems of ill discipline,media reports.

The former pacer was also banned on various occasions including a five-year ban when Dr Nasim Ashraf was the PCB chief.
