Younis Khan appointed Pakistan batting coach

LAHORE: Younis Khan has been appointed as the batting coach of Pakistan men's cricket team until the 2022 T20 World Cup, scheduled to be held in Australia.

Younis had earlier accompanied Pakistan to England this summer and will now continue with his responsibilities for the upcoming series in New Zealand for which the side departs on November 23, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced on Thursday. When not traveling with the national side, he will be based at the Hanif Mohammad High Performance in Karachi as a batting coach. A work program will be developed with the National High Performance team, PCB added.

"I am pleased to join the Pakistan cricket set-up on a long-term basis. I felt honoured when I was given the opportunity this summer and thoroughly enjoyed my time, and I now look forward to continuing the work with the same group of people on an important tour of New Zealand," Younis said. IANS
