"What happened in the World Cup was regrettable and disappointing. But the past is history now and we must look ahead. Pakistan team still has lot of talent and some good young players coming up but we have to be patient and give them time to settle down," Akram said.

Wasim who has largely remained out of Pakistan cricket since retiring in 2003 will conduct the camp for fast bowlers and opening batsmen with former Test player, Mudassar Nazar who is also the head of the National Cricket Academy in Lahore.

"I see this assignment as an opportunity to give something back to Pakistan cricket. It has always been my desire to work with young players and help them improve their skill and trade," Wasim said.

The Pakistan Cricket Board has picked some of the finest young pacers and openers in the country for the two-week crash course which is part of the rebuilding process of Pakistan cricket after the World Cup debacle. Pakistan were eliminated in the first round of the World Cup after losing to West Indies and minnows Ireland and this led to senior batsman, Inzamamul Haq stepping down as captain and also retiring from one-day internationals.

Wasim supported Inzamam's decision to step down but would not comment on the senior batsman's insistence to continue playing Test cricket at the age of 37.
