Karachi, June 26(ANI): Sarfraz Nawaz, one of Pakistan's most controversial players and a staunch critic of the current Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) regime, has dispelled the impression that he has taken a U-turn by joining the board.
Many eyebrows were raised in the cricketing circles over Sarfraz's recent appointment as coach for fast bowlers at the PCB's Fast Track Coaching Programme.
Sarfraz clarified that he had been pleading for corrective measures in the past and has made efforts to guide the administrators of the game to improve things.
"However, I have no personal grudge against anyone and have only accepted the current offer in a bid to help Pakistan cricket," the Dawn quoted Sarfraz, as saying.
The former Test fast bowler, who is hailed as the pioneer of reverse swing, also stated that he has a rich experience of coaching pace bowlers and has had regular coaching stints since 1999.
The current fast bowling crop needs constant guidance, as international cricket has become extremely demanding, Sarfraz added.
The 62-year-old, who played 55 Tests, said the bowlers can benefit greatly if they follow his advice and work on their strengths and weaknesses keeping in mind the varying conditions around the world.
He also claimed that he is focused on training the bowlers and does not intend to meddle in the administrative or team affairs.
Sarfraz stated that he would be aiming to pass on his experience and help the bowlers understand the nuances of fast bowling better.(ANI)
