I am surely going to miss being part of the dressing room but I wish the team continued success.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>KKR Managing Director and CEO Venky Mysore said, &quot;We will miss Wasim Bhai who has been part of the KKR family over the last few years and has played a significant role in our title triumphs in 2012 and 2014. We wish him the very best in all his endeavors.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Akram was appointed the KKR bowling coach in 2010 and has helped the franchise to two titles in 2012 and 2014.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He is credited with grooming India pacers Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav as well as Pakistan&#39;s Mohammad Amir.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Akram is regarded as one of the greatest pacers of all time, featuring in 104 Tests and 356 One-Day Internationals (ODI) in a 20-year career, picking up 414 Test and 502 ODI wickets.<\/p>\r\n",
