Intikhab breaks new ground (BBC) [Thanks to Sanjeev for the link]

The Punjab Cricket Association has decided to hire Pakistan's former captain Intikhab Alam as team manager.

This is the first time that a Pakistani will be coaching any sporting team in India, the Government having taken the unprecedented step of granting an unrestricted visa to Initkhab.

This story from PakTribune says that he has had a generally positive response from the Pakistani cricketing establishment contrasting this with the controversy when Wasim Akram informally coached Indian bowlers. I didn't know about the Akram news. Interesting bit of info there.
