Former Pakistan cricket captain Salman Butt has been offered a job as batting consultant by the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB), just days after he was removed from the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) selection panel.
Butt, who was banned for five years for spot-fixing in 2010, was appointed as a consultant to the PCB’s chief selector in November. However, he was removed from the role just days later after facing severe backlash from fans and former players.
Despite the controversy, Butt has now been offered a job by the ACB, which is looking to improve its batting performance ahead of its upcoming series against India.
The ACB has yet to officially confirm Butt’s appointment, but reports suggest that he is likely to accept the offer.
Butt’s appointment is sure to be met with criticism from some, but the ACB believes that he can bring valuable experience to the team.
Butt is a talented batsman with a proven track record at the international level. He has scored over 5,000 runs in Tests and over 3,000 runs in ODIs.
The ACB believes that Butt can help the team’s batsmen improve their technique and shot selection.
If Butt accepts the job, he will become the latest Pakistani cricketer to work with the ACB. Former Pakistan coach Inzamam-ul-Haq is currently the ACB’s head coach, while former Pakistan batsman Younis Khan is the team’s batting consultant.
The ACB is hoping that Butt’s experience and expertise can help the team improve its batting performance and achieve success in the upcoming series against India.
