Personally Akhtar has refined a lot. He used to be a very rude character before entering international cricket. Shoaib gives credit to GOD for whatever he is today. Once he said, My mother didn't want me to play cricket. She wanted me to finish my studies and look for a good job but I guess God had something else for me. He wanted me to play for my country so he picked me out of so many. I really think it was his will.
