Younis Khan's resignation as batting coach: Why do emotional Younis Khan repeat past controversies?
Why did Younis Khan resign as batting coach?
Younis Khan also revealed that he had sent his resignation to the Pakistan Cricket Board in January over the alleged interference, which he said was apologized to by chief executive Wasim Khan, after which he agreed to work again. ۔
Younis Khan said the second major reason for his resignation on the show was that when he was undergoing dental treatment before his tour of England and the West Indies, the Pakistan Cricket Board allegedly did not consider it appropriate to tell him formally. When they have to enter the biosecure bubble.
On this occasion, he said without naming a senior official of the Pakistan Cricket Board, "They called me and said that you did not come to the bio-secure bubble, so you will not be able to go to England with the team." Not only that, but these officers also made me believe that you remember what we did with Muhammad Hafeez?
Younis Khan claims that he immediately told the officer, "I am not Muhammad Hafeez but Younis Khan and I decided at that time that it is no longer possible for me to be the batting coach."
There has been no reaction from the PCB so far after Younis Khan's statements.
Whatever the reasons for Younis Khan's resignation, it is surprising that he is not ready to forget what happened to him in the past, especially in the run-up to the 2009 Champions Trophy in South Africa. But the revolt of his fellow players.
Rebellion in cricket team against Younis Khan
Younis Khan's alleged harsh treatment of his teammates was blamed for the uprising. Among the cricketers involved in the uprising were Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Malik, Misbah-ul-Haq and Muhammad Yousuf.
The senior players of the Pakistan cricket team vowed not to play under Younis Khan's captaincy. "Not only did they take an oath on the Qur'an, but they also met Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ijaz Butt through the team's manager Yawar Saeed."
Twelve years have passed since the incident, but it seems that the winning captain of the 2009 T20 World Cup has not forgotten this yet and does not miss the opportunity to mention it.
Younis Khan is considered to be a bit arrogant and emotional, but some interpret it as his outspokenness. There have been a few incidents in his career that fully reflect his passion.
Leaving the captaincy this time
Younis Khan was the captain of the Pakistan team when it was going to India in 2006 to play in the Champions Trophy. He went to his office at Gaddafi Stadium to meet Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shahriar Khan.
They were told to wait a while for an appointment. He came down to the stadium without meeting them, where he was to speak to the media with coach Bob Woolmer. On this occasion, Younis Khan shocked everyone by saying that he was resigning from the captaincy because he was not ready to become a 'dummy captain'.
However, a few days later, Dr. Naseem Ashraf Younis Khan, who replaced Shahriar Khan as chairman, was persuaded to take over the leadership.
Younis Khan says that when he was asked to wait to meet Shahriar Khan, some people present there laughed at him which was not acceptable to him.
Younis Khan made a similar decision during his second visit to India in 2007. During this tour, he had captained in two Test matches due to Shoaib Malik's unfitness, but he decided not to captain as he was not taken into confidence in the selection of Shoaib Akhtar and Rao Iftikhar. This time too Dr. Naseem Ashraf had to explain to him.
Younis Khan decided to step down as captain for the third time after a member of the National Assembly accused him of alleged involvement in match-fixing.
This situation was very painful for Younis Khan. Although the National Assembly's standing committee had rejected the allegations against him, Younis Khan had tendered his resignation to then-board chairman Ijaz Butt.
Interestingly, in an interview given to jaanisports on the occasion of the 2015 World Cup, Younis Khan had admitted that it was his mistake to leave the captaincy several times in the past.
'Should cricketers like us shoot themselves?'
Younis Khan had sharply criticized the Pakistan Cricket Board in 2014 when he was dropped from the squad for the ODI series against Australia, so he emotionally challenged the selectors while talking to the media. If they think that young cricketers are the future of Pakistani ODI cricket, then they should also tell where is the future of Pakistan in Test cricket?
"The selectors say there is no future for cricketers like him. Should players like him shoot themselves?"
Sudden retirement from ODIs
One of Younis Khan's shocking decisions was his retirement from ODI career. This is November 2015 when the Pakistani cricket team was to play an ODI series against England in the United Arab Emirates.
Younis Khan's performance in the World Cup that year was disappointing, but he was included in the squad for the series against England, but after playing his first match, he announced that he would retire from ODI cricket. have been.
This situation was surprising for the selection committee.
Under-19 coaching
The Pakistan Cricket Board had offered Younis Khan to coach the Pakistan Under-19 team two years ago but the two sides could not reach an agreement. It is said that Younis Khan also wanted powers in matters of selection which was not acceptable to the board.
Tweet on the cricket academy room
In April 2018, a video of Younis Khan surfaced in which he said that he had been invited for a level three coaching course but when he arrived at the National Cricket Academy, there was no arrangement for him to stay and he was treated well. He was asked to spend one night in Nazar's room, which he refused and returned to Karachi without attending the course.
