In a notable shake-up in Pakistan’s cricket coaching staff, Mohammad Yousuf has resigned as the national team’s batting coach. He has also stepped down from his position as the coach of the Under-19 cricket team, signaling changes within the setup.
Yousuf submitted his resignation to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), with reports suggesting that former cricketer Ghulam Ali will be appointed as the new Under-19 coach.
Prior to his role as batting coach, Yousuf was a member of the national selection committee. Additionally, former pacer Wahab Riaz, who was also part of the selection committee, is expected to take on a significant new responsibility within the PCB, potentially overseeing the management of Champions Trophy events.
Wahab Riaz has previously served as a selector, team manager, and, during the last caretaker government, as the Minister for Sports in Punjab.
