End with 250 scalps is a dream: Shoaib

COLOMBO (Agencies) - Controversial fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar said finishing with 250 ODI wickets will be a dream come true but insists he would not have any regrets even if he is not given another match in the World Cup. Nicknamed " Rawalpindi Express", Akhtar, whose career was marred with injuries and controversies, didn't play the match against Australia. "I wanted to make way for the juniors, so even if I don't get my 250th wicket it is fine. It will be a dream to reach that landmark, but if I don't get picked, there is not much I can do. I still remain the fastest bowler in this W C," Akhtar, was quoted as saying. "Pakistan winning the World Cup is far more important than reaching personal goals. For me, nation comes first. That's the way I have been. So I will accept any team decision." Shoaib Akhtar said.
