Shoaib Akhtar kept PCB in dark about autobiography
LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board on Sunday said that retired fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar kept the board in dark about his upcoming autobiography to be launched next month.
Akhtar’s autobiography will offer revealing insights into the game, its intricacies and highs and lows from inside the dressing room as well as outside, according to details released at a press conference arranged by the publishers in New Delhi on Saturday.
The official also said that the book is likely to generate some controversy.
The book, unveiled by HarperCollins India on the pacer’s birthday on Saturday, will hit the markets next month.
“No we had no idea that he was going to launch his autobiography but since he is a retired player now he is not answerable to us for anything,” a PCB official told a foreign new agency.
But the official was clearly taken by surprise to learn about Akhtar’s upcoming book and said the fast bowler at no stage had indicated to the board about his plans.
