Younis Khan steps down as Pakistan's batting coach

Younis Khan resigned as Pakistan's batting coach on Tuesday (June 22) with immediate effect.

The 43-year-old had a two-year contract with the PCB which would have ended after the conclusion of T20 World in 2022. 

The announcement was followed by speculation that the former skipper himself had decided to step down from the position as he was not happy with his role.

He began his coaching stint with the tour of New Zealand in 2020-21.

Pakistan will now travel to their overseas tours of England and the West Indies without a batting coach.

The team will be in England for three ODIs and three T20Is, while the West Indies tour is slated to begin on July 21 where the teams will play five T20Is and two Tests.

End of an Era: Southee to Retire from Tests After England Tour

Tim Southee, New Zealand’s prolific paceman and all-time leading wicket-taker across formats, has announced the third Test against England could be his final appearance in red-ball cricket.  If New Zealand qualifies for the World Test Championship (WTC) final next year, he may make himself available for one last hurrah. Southee, 35, will have a fitting end to his career at Seddon Park, Hamilton, his home ground. Reflecting on his 18-year journey, he expressed gratitude, saying, “To play such a big series against the team I began my Test career against and at grounds so special to me is the perfect way to bow out.” The veteran has struggled recently, managing only three wickets on the spin-friendly pitches in India. He relinquished the Test captaincy to Tom Latham on that tour, underscoring his commitment to a gradual transition. Coach Gary Stead praised Southee’s endurance and competitive spirit, calling him “an incredibly tough competitor.” New Zealand have named a 14-man squad fo...
