Lahore, Sep 5: Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar has taken a fun dig at former skipper Misbah-ul-Haq after the latter was handed the dual role of Pakistan's head coach and chief selector.

Misbah was confirmed for the dual role on Wednesday by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), which has also assigned former pacer Waqar Younis for the job of bowling coach. After the development, Akhtar said he was surprised Misbah wasn't named the president of the PCB as well.
