What is Shoaib Akhtar up to?

Shoaib Akhtar, seems hell bent on pleasing everyone.

His masters have given him a glowing report and going by his antics today, it looks as if he is aiming for the most 'sportive' person award of this series.

However one cannot but feel that all his good behaviour is a pretence. If it is a pretence, what is he aiming at?

An IPL contract?

If I am not mistaken, he is yet to be approached by both factions, even though earlier there were reports of him joining ICL

Update:

Q says,

ICL offered him ( a contract) and he (had) refused. In fact he was offered one of the highest paying contracts.

IPL has offered him (a contract) and he has accepted (it).

Thanks Q, I stand corrected.
