Karachi: Pakistan’s batting coach Younis Khan has revealed that he was looking forward to receiving criticism after Pakistan’s batting failure in the series against New Zealand. Head coach Misbah-ul-Haq and bowling coach Waqar Younis was under severe criticism after a poor show by the team in New Zealand, however, batting legend Younis got less judgment on batsmen errors.
“I heard criticism on Waqar and Misbah-ul-Haq but there was no analysis on me. Accountability by critics is a must and I should also be criticised after Pakistan’s batting failure in New Zealand,” Younis told reporters in a virtual presser. “I wished to appear before PCB’s cricket committee where we could have addressed my faults and have a discussion on the betterment. Critics can judge my performances too, they are welcome to do this,” he added. Pakistan announced a 20-member preliminary squad for the Test series against South Africa. Nine uncapped players are named with major exclusions from the last series. – Agencies
