A statement issued by the cricket board on Tuesday says that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and men’s national cricket team batting coach Younis Khan have mutually agreed to part ways.
Last year in November, Younis was appointed on a two-year contract until the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022.
PCB Chief Executive Wasim Khan said it was sad to lose an expert of Younis’ stature and experience while making his comments on the development.
“Following a series of discussions, we both have reluctantly but mutually and amicably agreed that it was time to move in different directions.
“I want to thank Younis for his contributions during his short stint as the 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 said.
The statement further says that both the PCB and Younis have agreed not to make any further comment on the reasons for the former captain’s departure.
“Pakistan men’s national cricket team will travel to the United Kingdom without a batting coach, while the decision to appoint Younis Khan’s replacement for the West Indies tour will be made in due course.”
It added.
From 25 to July 20, the Pakistan men’s national cricket team will tour the UK for three ODIs and three T20Is, while the West Indies tour will be from July 21 to August 24 where the visiting team will feature in five T20Is and two Tests.
