Former Pakistan cricketer Younis Khan has stepped down as the national team’s batting coach. Younis was appointed in November 2020 on a two-year contract until the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022.
PCB Chief Executive Wasim Khan thanked Younis Khan for his contribution to the team. He also hoped that the veteran cricketer continues to contribute to Pakistan cricket in the future.
“It is sad to lose an expert of the stature and experience of Younis Khan. Following a series of discussions, we both have reluctantly but mutually and amicably agreed that it was time to move in different directions, he said.
“I want to thank Younis Khan for his contributions during his short stint as the Pakistan men’s national cricket team’s batting coach and hope he will remain available to assist the PCB by sharing his vast knowledge with the emerging cricketers,” he added.
Within seven months, Younis has decided to part ways as a result the cricket team will travel to the United Kingdom without a batting coach.
However, the board is ready to appoint a new coach by the time of the West Indies tour. Pakistan's tour of England will end on July 20, after that they will go to the Caribbean for five Twenty20 Internationals and two Tests.
