Wasim Akram to meet SRK on August 30

Former Pakistani Skipper Wasim Akram will meet IPL franchises owner Shah Rukh Khan on August 30 for a discussion on the coaching job for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The former player said he has received a call from Shah Rukhs secretary inviting him for a chat with the Knight Riders on Sunday. I will be there for sure I am keen and I am ready. Check me out, said Akram, who has entered the frame late. I have never done formal coaching before. It is a different skill, which is honed over a period of time. It requires a lot of patience and that is something I have acquired. I came to Delhi to teach bowling skills to youngsters and that was a good experience. So its worth giving a job with the KKR a shot, he told a television broadcaster. Interestingly, former New Zealand captain and ex-India coach John Wright is meeting Shah Rukh on the same day as Akram to explore options for the high-profile job.
