Akram, Wright in race for KKR coaching job


Kolkata: Former Pakistan skipper Wasim Akram has thrown in his hat to coach the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League (IPL) three next year.

The legendary all-rounder will meet the owner of the team and film star Shahrukh Khan along with another another candidate for the post and former Indian coach John Wright at the end of this week, according to CNN-IBN

Earlier, Englishmen Richard Pybus and Dermot Reeve were interviewed by Khan himself in his Bandra residence on Sunday and were tipped to secure the high-profile job of being the new coach of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

However, with Akram throwing in his hat and Wright yet to be interviewed by the KKR team management, the race for the coveted post seems to be wide open.
