Legendary Pakistan all-rounder Wasim Akram&rsquo;s decision to take a break from his commentary and coaching commitments centres around building his new house in Karachi. Wasim Akram was Kolkata Knight Riders&rsquo; bowling consultant until last season. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/feb/kkrwasim.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 263px;" /> KKR&rsquo;s bowling expert Wasim Akram with Brett Lee (centre) and L Balaji. Pic/AFP &ldquo;I will be busy building my new house in Karachi. I will need time to monitor that. Also, since my wife (Huma) passed away, I need to look after my two sons (Taimur and Akbar), Akram told MiD DAY on Tuesday. Akram, 46, revealed that he had a chat with KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan. &ldquo;I had a chat with Shah Rukh before taking this decision. I have been doing commentary for 10 months a year. I too need some rest. We all know how difficult it is to build a house,&rdquo; said Akram, who witnessed the opening Test of the India vs Australia series at Chennai. However, Akram is not sure whether KKR will offer him a contract when he makes himself available next season. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know if they (KKR) would want me. They will offer a contract to another person in my place. And if he does well, then they might want to continue with him,&rdquo; he said.u00a0
