However, the 39-year-old Mushie, as affectionately he is being called, is unceretain about accepting the offer. "I am yet to decide on the issue," he said from Hyderabad where he is on an ICL assignment.
"The offer had not directly come from the coach. Only it came through my agent. Coach (Peter Moores) had just expressed passing remarks about myself."
The leg-spinner with googlies aplenty, Mushtaq Ahmed is styled on his hero Abdul Qadir. However, he will decide about England spin coach offer only after the battle between BCCI and ICL is resolved.
"I am more inclined to be associated with the Pakistani team (rather than England)," he stressed. His services were utilised by the former PCB bosses.
In fact his services were declined once by Dr. Nasim Ashraf when he was about to board a flight to India. "I was not allowed to come with the team at that time," Mushtaq recalled. "But once Nasim Ashraf realised about my dedication towards work, I was again assisting the Pakistani team."
Mushtaq Ahmed was a member of the supporting staff to the Pakistan squad for the last World Cup in West Indies, where coach Bob Woolmer lost his life.
