Akram, who is in Lahore these days conducting a specialised coaching camp for fast bowlers said he does not have the stamina to sustain interest for the role of a bowling coach with the Pakistan team.

"I think I am better off doing stints like I am doing now. I would like to pass on my experience to the younger bowlers and they are plenty of good prospects in this camp as well," he said.

Speculations have been rife that the Pakistan Cricket Board might offer Akram a permanent coaching position with the national team ever since he conducted the three weeks camp on the invitation of the board.

Akram has stayed away from getting directly involved in Pakistan cricket since retiring in 2003 after the World Cup.

Akram, who ended his career with 414 Test and 502 ODI wickets also rubbished suggestions of Shahid Afridi that the national team did not require a full time coach.

Pakistan is without a coach after the death of Bob Woolmer during the World Cup and for the recent one-day series in Abu Dhabi, manager Talat Ali officiated as coach.
