Yes, I have had some discussions with the Board and I am interested in playing a major role in Pakistan cricket. But nothing is decided as yet,\u201d he said.<br \/>\n\u201cYes there has been some discussions. I can reveal only this much but nothing concrete as yet. But talks are still on. I have not said yes and neither have they (PCB) said yes.\u201d<br \/>\nHowever, Jang\u2019s sources within the PCB say that Akhtar is not in line for the chief selector or any other position, deeming speculation in this regard as untrue.<br \/>\nThe Urdu daily did say though that Akhtar, on his own request, did hold a meeting with PCB Chairman Ehsan Mani and CEO Wasim Khan on Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contrary to circulating rumours the PCB say that Shoaib Akhtar is not in line for chief selector or any other position news desk islamabad Former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar is not being considered for any positions within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Daily Jang reported on Friday.
