ISLAMABAD: Loyalty is something which attracts Imran Khan the most, said Wasim Akram about his former skipper and mentor who is just days away from clinching top post of the country.
Speaking about the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman's qualities as leader, Wasim stated Imran Khan likes to see hardworking, resilient and loyal members in his team.
"Imran Khan wants his team members to be loyal and hardworking," he said.
Recalling the past Akram, also a former captain of the Pakistan cricket team, said Imran Khan would even encourage the players who failed to perform, looking at their passion and hard-work.
He said as a leader Imran Khan was someone who always consulted his team while making decisions.
Asked what changes are expected in Pakistan's cricket structure, Wasim Akram said it was too early to comment on the issue, but Imran would want to strengthen first class cricket.
Wasim Akram was one of the first cricketers who reached Bani Gala, the resident of Imran Khan, to congratulate the PTI chairman for his victory in the elections.
While he continued to support Khan through his social media messages in the run up to the polls, Wasim also returned from abroad to cast his ballot in the elections on July 25.
Wasim Akram who led Pakistani team to final of the Cricket World Cup 1999, has always supported any initiative undertaken by his mentor.
Akram along with fellow pace-man Waqar Younis made the deadliest pair in the world under Imran Khan's watch after perfecting the art of bowling.
