Karachi, June 23: Pakistan cricket team returns Thursday after
finishing as runners-up in the World Cup. While it has been confirmed
that skipper Wasim Akram, Saqlain Mushtaq, Shoaib Akhtar and Saeed
Anwar would not be travelling with the team, it was unclear if any of
the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials will be arriving.
The chairman of the PCB Khalid Mahmood is attending the International
Cricket Council (ICC) meeting but there was no news regarding de
facto chief executive Majid Khan. Majid had left for England earlier
this month vowing to attend the conference.
It was not clear if team coach Mushtaq Mohammad and assistant coach
Richard Pybus would also be arriving.
Akram is staying back in England because of his commitments with an
English club while Saqlain will be appearing for Surrey in the
English County Championship. Shoaib Akhtar is in the process of
finalizing a deal with a county.
