YK speaking in riddles:
"Lot of people say that Younis Khan has a habit of leaving things in the middle but let me say that when I was on my way back after retiring, the PCB Chairman said, come and take a job with the PCB; So I thought about it for 3 years and then took this job in 2020; Everyone from food seller to PCB were telling me to take this job and I took it now 6-7 months later, I am at this position again; I thought I would give my support to the PCB but if someone doesn't want my support then what else can I do?"
"One shouldn't talk much about this - if I do that then it wont be good - After a 4-6 months gradually I will start to speak about it"

There is no way he is waiting 4-6 months. I say give it 4-6 days
Such a dramaybaaz individual.
On to a career of joining the PCB multiple times and then leaving on bad terms, with neither party learning from their mistakes. PCB will feel obliged to him because he is our highest Test scorer. Younis will keep coming back because no other international team will hire him.

Why is he always talking in third person like The Rock?

He used to refer to the t20 World Cup as ‘WWE wrestling fun’ so makes sense

Here we go again with the Drama Queen aka YK
Already starting dropping a few hints and one or two quotes on tv.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing but it was surprising that PCB employed YK, knowing fully well that it would end in drama.

So who is coaching Pakistan now? if we didnt need a coach in the first place then why was YK with the side in the first place?

I imagine Misbah is the de-facto batting coach as he was before YK came on.

Wasim Khan speaking to PakPassion.net about the Younis Khan resignation:
PakPassion.net: How disappointing was it that Younis Khan resigned from his position as the national team’s batting coach?
Wasim Khan: There is no doubt in my mind that Younis Khan is a legend of Pakistan cricket. During his playing days, he was the master at understanding what was required to deliver on the big stage consistently. He is someone who I have the utmost amount of respect for as an ex-player and our relationship reflects that. We were having conversations on a regular basis, but he had a number of concerns, regarding what he saw and what he was observing regarding Pakistan cricket and there was also a slight disagreement about the timeframes to join us on the tour of England as logistically it was a challenge for him and it didn’t work out. He wanted to part ways which we then agreed with, but the relationship remains intact. So much so that I could easily pick up the phone today and have a conversation with him. You have to respect people’s choices and the decisions that they make. Yes, it was disappointing for us because you want someone like Younis involved at that level, but I certainly wouldn’t write-off Younis Khan coming back and supporting and adding value in other areas of Pakistan cricket through coaching in future.

We are so lucky to have such a level headed guy in Wasim Khan who gives responses which comes straight out of the perfect textbook.

Perhaps those concerns were childish. Like why was there no towel in my hotel bathroom or my dentist appointment is more appointment than Covid quarantine.
YK has a history.

Its clear that this situation could easily have been resolved had YK put aside his ego and truly wanted to help Pakistan Cricket. So what if he wasn't able to go to England? Staying back and working at the NHPC is below his class, dignity?

Younis will consider it beneath his dignity to work with junior players.

Younis Khan is a man of great principle, honour and dignity. But unfortunately, he's also a misunderstood character which is highly disrespected despite his great services for Pakistan cricket. People use to say all sorts to Moyo to and question his personality and lack of professionalism but he's doing a great job beneath the international coaching roles.
I'm not convinced that Younis can be a good coach at any level.
So raja is not letting it go seems he's gonna oust yousaf then.
Told you he is a vindictive little man.
What's the point of just letting younis be the batting coach everyone knows he is mad as a box of frogs and a massive ego to boot. he will never settle less than the big job so might as well give him the whole role as head , batting , field , bowling and physiotherapist cheerleader role.

Will be a big thing on his resume. Apart from Saqlain, Mushtaq Ahmed, Azhar Mahmood no other Pakistani players have ever coached outside Pakistan.
