Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram is not interested in a full-time coaching stint with Kolkata Knight Riders, but is certainly keen to take up as a bowling consultant for the under-performing Indian Premier League (IPL) team. Sources close to Akram confirmed to IANS Tuesday that the legendary fast bowler is certainly one of the candidates to take John Buchanan’s place in the Knight Riders’ set-up. “He (Akram) is one of the four people being considered for …

SYDNEY, (Reuters) – Australia’s 14-year domination  of international cricket is officially over after they failed  in their attempt at a smooth succession plan.
