Wasim Akram Doesn't Want To Coach Pakistan As He 'Can't Tolerate Misbehaviour On Social Media' By Fans
"The misbehavior that is shown on social media. It shows what we are. I have never seen this happen in other countries." said Wasim Akram.
Wasim Akram, the great Pakistani fast-bowler said that he would not like to become the coach of the Pakistan cricket team. He said that he doen't like comments the coaches recieve from fans on social media and thus, would not like to become the coach of the Pakistan cricket team.
In a recent development, Misbah Ul-Haq and Waqar Younis were sacked as coaches of the Pakistan team and Matthew Hayden and Vernon Philander were appointed as the new coaches of the Pakistan team. These changes were made after Ramiz Raja became the chief of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
"The misbehavior that is shown on social media. It shows what we are. I have never seen this happen in other countries." Akram told Cricket Pakistan.

"When you become the coach, you need to give at least 200 to 250 days a year to the team and that's a lot of work. I don't think I can manage so much work away from Pakistan, from my family," Akram added.
"I am not a fool. I keep on hearing and seeing on social media how people misbehave with their coaches and seniors. The coach isn't the one playing. The players are the one playing. The coach can only help with the planning. So, if the team loses, I don't think the coach is as responsible or accountable as we hold him as a nation."
"So, I'm afraid of that as well, because I can't tolerate anyone misbehaving with me. And we are becoming like that. I love the people, their enthusiasm and passion for the game, but not the misbehavior that is shown on social media. It shows what we are. I have never seen this happen in other countries." Akram added.
