Former batting maestro Mohammad Yousuf has resigned as the batting coach of the Pakistan cricket team.
According to sources, Yousuf, who was serving as a batting coach under the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), reportedly submitted his resignation to the board.
Mohammad Yousuf was also part of the team management during Pakistan’s tour of New Zealand.
He was named the batting coach of the national men’s team on 4 March ahead of the tour of New Zealand, replacing Shahid Aslam.
It is pertinent to mention that last year, Mohammad Yousuf also resigned from the selection committee, citing “personal reasons”.
Yousuf had announced his resignation in a post on the social media platform X.
“Serving this incredible team has been a profound privilege, and I am proud to have contributed to the growth and success of Pakistan cricket,” he wrote.
“I have immense faith in the talent and spirit of our players, and wish our team all the best as they continue to strive for greatness.”
At that time, the PCB confirmed Yousuf’s resignation, stating that he wanted to focus on other key responsibilities within the cricket board.
“The PCB expresses its sincere gratitude to Mohammad Yousuf for his invaluable contributions during his tenure as a selection committee member,” the cricket board said.
For the unversed, Mohammad Yousuf was also the head coach of the Pakistan U-19 side that finished third in the ICC U-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2024 in South Africa.
