Akhtar eyes ODI return in 2011 WC

Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar, who is poised to make his return to international cricket in the two Twenty20 games against England, is eyeing a ODI comeback during the 2011 World Cup.
According to sources, Shoaib is working hard on his fitness, and wants to play in the mega tournament to be staged in the Indian subcontinent before announcing his retirement.
The 34-year-old was overlooked for the Test series against Australia and England, but was part of the team that played two Twenty20 games against Australia.
Earlier, last month, Pakistan's fitness trainer David Dwyer had said that Shoaib was an integral part of the national team's ODI and Twenty20 plans.
"Shoaib has lost a lot of weight and that's encouraging. He's definitely not in peak fitness," The Daily Times quoted Dwyer, as saying.
