In the video post, Akhtar can be heard saying, "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. I too will play league (cricket) so beware".

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.
Earlier, in another Twitter post, Akhtar called himself the "don of cricket".
Showcasing his past glories, the 43-year-old took to the popular social media site, and wrote: "Don of cricket as they called me but never enjoyed hurting people but I must say when I was out there I just ran in for the love of my country & for the people around the world .
The post also carries photos of batsmen who have become his victims. However, it soon became a talking point for fans, mostly Indians, who in turn reminded 'Rawalpindi Express' of a certain Sachin Tendulkar.
