Shoaib Akhtar Announces his 'Comeback'

There is some good news for those who love fast lethal bowling. The news is that one of the fastest bowlers in the history of the game has announced that he is going to come back and will play in the Leagues. Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has announced that he will be making a comeback on February 14.

"Today's kids believe that they know a lot (about cricket) and they can challenge my bowling speed as well. So, kids, I am coming back to play and I will show you what speed really is," Shoaib Akhtar said in a video message posted on his official Twitter account. "I too will play league (cricket) so beware," Akhtar added.

Interestingly, February 14 marks the start of the fourth edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL) and fans are speculating that Shoaib Akhtar has joined one of the six PSL teams in some capacity.

"Shaibi...Is this actually happening? You're coming back? The kids these days could use some of your speed. #shoaibisback," Akram wrote while commenting on Akhtar's video message.
"About time Shoaib Bhai! Come show us what speed is all about. Can't wait to see our legend back in action #Shoaibisback," Shoaib Malik replied.

Since retiring from international cricket after the 2011 World Cup, the 43-year old has been associated with cricket as a commentator and an expert.
