I appreciate Pathan’s move of turning to Akram for help. I’m quite relived to hear that. Akram has mentioned in past, as we all know, that he has never had problems with that. He actually found young players not asking for advice a grim state of affairs.
But I also wonder what took Pathan so long to figure this out that he should seek help from the bowling legend, given that he has mentored him before. For us this seemed like an obvious thing to do. But he kept waiting for some reason. That makes me think how much encouragement there in the current set up for a player to take such a step. It can be hard for a heavily paid coach and a battalion of personnel looking after the team, to genuinely appreciate it.
