Pakistan cricket team’s former star batsman, Younis Khan, is in line for a significant role in the development of the junior team. In a recent meeting with Zaka Ashraf, the Chairperson of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Management Committee (MC), discussions were held regarding Khan’s potential role. Both Khan and Ashraf are currently overseas, so the details of the talks are yet to be finalized.
Younis Khan, Pakistan’s most successful Test-match batsman, had an illustrious 17-year-long Test career, accumulating 10,099 runs at an average of 52.05, including 34 centuries. His highest score was 313 runs against Sri Lanka at the National Stadium, Karachi, in 2009.
