ISLAMABAD: England County Cricket Club Yorkshire was looking to rope in former Pakistani skipper Younis Khan in it’s new coaching setup, led by former West Indies’ pacer Ottis Gibson.
Younis and former South African pacer Allan Donald have been identified as frontrunners to join Gibson as the club look to overhaul after Azeem Rafiq’s racism scandal, reported the telegraph as quoted by cricketpakistan.com.pk.
Meanwhile, the publication added that it would be surprising if Younis and Donald get high salaries, given the club’s current fight to lure sponsors back.
It must be noted that Younis had also represented Yorkshire in 2007 as an overseas player. Remember, Younis left his role as Pakistan’s batting coach in June 2021 before the England tour. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Younis mutually decided to part ways after relationship deteriorated. He was appointed in November 2020 on a two-year contract until the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022.
