A few days ago, a meeting was held between former fast bowler Aaqib Javed and PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja. The former told the PCB chief to focus on the base level to improve Pakistani cricket.
Aaqib asked him to concentrate on cricket academies, adding that they were particularly important in strengthening cricket in the country. However, Aaqib is reluctant to join the PCB and feels he is fine with the Lahore Qalandars, said a source.
