Overview

• Yousuf has stepped down from his roles at the Lahore-based National Cricket Academy and as Pakistan’s senior team batting coach after missing May’s Bangladesh series.
• He described his decision as personal; a source said he was upset about being passed over for the NCA director role in favor of Aaqib Javed.
• The PCB has not yet confirmed the vacancy and faces pressure to appoint a new batting coach before Pakistan’s August tour of the West Indies.
• Yousuf joined the Pakistan senior coaching setup on March 4 and worked with the team during their New Zealand white-ball tour in April.
• His exit coincides with a wider shake-up that saw New Zealander Mike Hesson named head coach just one month earlier.
