Shoaib Akhtar Biography

 Shoaib Akhtar  born 13 August 1975 is a Pakistani former cricketer and commentator who is regarded as the fastest bowler in the history of world cricket, winning a delivery of 161.Three km / h (one hundred and 23 mph), in an ODI towards England – a pool in shape at one point in the 2003 Cricket World Cup. It has evolved into the nickname "Rawalpindi Express", due to its speed and place of origin, and "Tiger".He also became a major bowler who was recorded bowling at a hundred miles an hour, and did so twice in his profession. He made his test debut in November 1997 as a debut fast bowler and made his first international appearance three months later.Akhtar was troubled by numerous controversies at one stage of his career, and was regularly accused of unsportsmanlike conduct, despite his praise for his notable influence on video games in Pakistan's favor. Akhtar was turned into a servant at some point in a series of test matches in Australia in 2005 for allegedly having terrible thoughts. A year later, he became embroiled in a drug scandal after testing nice for an overall performance-enhancing substance, nandrolone. However, the ban imposed on him was replaced by a ban on attraction.In September 2007, he received a ban. On 1 April 2008, Akhtar was disqualified for 5 years for publicly criticizing the Pakistan Cricket Board.In October 2008, the Lahore High Court in Pakistan suspended the 5-year ban, and Akhtar was selected as part of the 15-man squad for the Quad Twenty20 tournament in Canada. Pakistani umpire Rana Bhagwandas immediately said that Akhtar is a legend of Pakistani cricket. Akhtar retired from international cricket after the 2011 World Cup.

Akhtar was born in Mohalla Jaadi, a place he calls a " dilapidated neighborhood”, in the small town of Morga in Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan. His father, Mohammad Akhtar, whom Shoaib describes as very religious and “from a hard-working, economically underprivileged Gujar community family”, worked as a night watchman at a gas station owned by the Attock Oil refinery, and married his mother Hamida Awan when she was still a teenager, and they had five children: four sons, Shoaib was the fourth after Shaheed, Tahir and Obaid, and then a daughter, Shumaila. The name Shoaib, which in Arabic means both "one who unites people” and "one who divides", was chosen by his mother.He married Rubab Khan on 11 November 2014Being a good student, Akhtar was accepted to Asghar Mol College, but interrupted his studies to attend the trials for the PIA team unit in Karachi, which were to be held in Lahore. Having no money for a bus ticket, he waited until the bus was moving and climbed up on the roof. After some struggles, starting his career in the 1993/1994 season and his first-class career in the 1994/1995 season, he caught the attention of Majid Khan, the then chief executive of the PCB, and after a good performance in the Pakistan team's tour of England in 1996, he was awarded his first test cap against the West Indies in 1997.

Given his subsequent over-profile in cricket, Akhtar's cricket career began modestly as a substitute. He disguised himself as the first choice to play on his home floor in Rawalpindi at some stage in the second test of the 1997/98 West Indies tour of Pakistan. In the winter of 1998, he moved on to the tour of South Africa, where he played in all 3 tests. He was largely at the head of Pakistan's depleted bowling attack as part of the Peshawar test against the travelling Australians later in 1998, when Mark Taylor scored his famous unbeaten 334 in Australia's first innings. Subsequently, after eight tests and 16 innings, Akhtar collected a most comfortable 18 wickets.Akhtar's series of general appearances began in 1999, at some point in a training camp before the World Cup against India. This was evident in the bowling performances in Sharjah and then in the 1999 Cricket World Cup.

In 2002, he disguised himself as a Pakistani team bound for Australia, and had little success. However, the team failed to complete the 2003 Cricket World Cup, and after the match, he turned into a retired Pakistan international. He made the decision to return to the Pakistan national team, as they were not favoured in the 2003 qualifier against New Zealand, but struggled in the 2004 qualifier against India. The training camp ended with a question, while he left the sphere, mentioning an injury that raised the suspicions of former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq, about his commitment to the team. As a result, his relationship with Inzamam-ul-Haq and former Pakistani teacher Bob Woolmer deteriorated. A medical board was set up through the Pakistan Cricket Board to investigate the nature of his injuries, but Pakistani officials dispelled any suspicions. In 2005, Akhtar regained his reputation as a fast bowler outside of his fringe. Playing in a three-test home collection in England, he made a series of impressive bowling performances. His powerful use of slower deliveries proved impossible with the help of England's batsmen. Akhtar became the highest player in the series with seventeen wickets. His comeback was even more extraordinary, as prior to his return he was criticised  from all sides, such as by Worcestershire chairman John Elliott for his film star mindset and lack of dedication to the band. His overall performance was also recognised with the help of England captain Michael Vaughan, who remarked: "I think he (Shoaib) was a huge difference between the two teams. " He is also known as one of only three bowlers ever to break the 100mph barrier in the history of cricket, with a delivery of 100mph.2mph, in a single day around the world against England in the 2003 World Cup. 

Akhtar played for three English county cricket clubs: Somerset in 2001, Durham in 2003 and 2004, and Worcestershire in 2005. He did acquire his moments of achievement, as well as taking five wickets for 35 runs for Durham against Somerset in the National League in 2003 and claiming 6 wickets for 16 runs in an even competition for Worcestershire against Gloucestershire many years later, however he suffered from fitness issues as well as the belief that he had become less curious in his challenge. This was particularly evident in Worcestershire: Chairman John Elliott said: "Players like him may not be desirable for our membership. In fact, Akhtar was not a great player at any club he was at. He's a superstar and just does what he wants."

On 16 October 2006, Akhtar was suspended by the Pakistan Cricket Board, on the side of Mohammad Asif, after they tested Superb for the performance-enhancing substance nandrolone.They were subsequently relegated from the 2006 ICC Champions Trophy.The former chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board later said that he had always suspected Akhtar of substance abuse because of his constant "reservations" about drug tests. Former Pakistan captain Inzamam ul-Haq has also previously complained about Akhtar's drug abuse, however, he did not report it to the Pakistan Cricket Board again. Akhtar immediately declared his innocence and deliberately refused. any performance-enhancing capsules. In a statement released by The click, he claimed that he would never be able to deceive teammates or warring parties. During the Pakistan Cricket Board Anti-Doping Committee hearing, he and Asif continued to take non-steroidal dietary supplements. However, he did not convince the committee of his innocence. In its report to the Pakistan Cricket Board, the Anti-Doping Committee recommended a ban of two to 12 months. 

On 1 November 2006, the Pakistan Cricket Board lifted Akhtar's two-year suspension and Asif's one-year suspension, banning them from playing cricket at any stage during that period. Shoaib was eventually placed on the Pakistan Olympic Association's list of doping offenders.However, on 5 December 2006, represented through his lawyer Abid Hassan Minto, Akhtar was acquitted of the enchantment charge.

On 5 December 2006, Akhtar and Asif were acquitted by the tribunal appointed to hear their appeals. After a clean hearing by lawyer Akhtar Abid Hassan Minto, a 3-person committee voted in favor of acquittal by 1 vote. Judge Fakhruddin Ebrahim, the head of the committee, and Haseeb Ahsan, a former cricketer, argued for the acquittal. The 1/3 member, Dane Zahir, disagreed. "Exceptional situations" were stated, as well as discrepancies between the charges of immediate doping that were made and the short postponement of the absolutely harsh verdict. The whole drug testing method turned into a conclusion that it was technically wrong because it didn't follow the general methods. The committee's other established information was that the duo were now unaware of the banned drug that should be present in their food supplements, as the Pakistan Cricket Board itself no longer informed them of the dangers of the contaminated supplements.Akhtar and Asif, however, did not play in the next test suit collection in the West Indies due to the Pakistan Cricket Board advocating that they play home video games first to improve form and health. On 1 March 2007, Akhtar and Asif were excluded from Pakistan's squad for the 2007 Cricket World Cup through the group officers, minutes before the team departed for the West Indies. The team's management, along with the Pakistan Cricket Board, said their injuries were too serious to threaten sending them to the Caribbean. Since none of them were declared healthy, they now did not pass legal doping tests.The World Anti-Doping Agency ( WADA) has challenged Pakistan's decision to lift bans on fast bowlers Akhtar and Asif, taking the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, Switzerland.The ICC supported WADA's charms, adding that they were dedicated to doping-free recreation. On 2 July 2007, the Court of Arbitration for Sport dismissed the case, ruling that it had no jurisdiction to challenge the choice made using PCBs.

In September 2011, a few months after retiring from international cricket, he published his autobiography, Possibly Yours, co-written with Indian social anthropologist and journalist Anshu Dogra.This turned into a meeting with high-quality reviews, observers noted the hobby of having Shoaib's remarks, almost constantly vital, on issues related to the governance of cricket in Pakistan, ball tampering controversies, and his views on cricketers, both from Pakistan and beyond
