One of Pakistan's greatest batters, Younis Khan is not new to coaching a team in international cricket. In 2020, he had plied his trade as a batting coach for Pakistan for their tour of England. Later, the PCB also handed him an extension although he decided to part ways from the team. He has served as a coach for Peshawar Zalmi as well in the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
In 2017, he was also in talks with the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) to become the head coach of the team but eventually declined the offer. Later in 2022, he served as a batting coach for Afghanistan in 2022. And ahead of the Champions Trophy, the ACB has roped him in as their mentor, according to Cricbuzz.
Younis Khan enjoyed an illustrious career in international cricket and retired from the game as one of the most decorated batsmen from Pakistan.
He also played 25 T20Is for Pakistan and led them to their first and so far only T20 World Cup title in 2009. Afghanistan will be looking to make the most of Younis Khan's experience as they eye another good campaign in an ICC event.
