KARACHI: The Pakistan Cricket Board is in discussion with former skipper Younis Khan for the permanent role of Pakistan team’s batting coach.
Sources have confirmed to Geo Super that Khan is already in discussion with PCB and has held talks with officials on the matter.

“But, of course, these are ongoing discussions and things will be finalised soon,” he added.
Khan was earlier appointed as batting consultant for the Pakistan Cricket team’s tour to England this summer and several Pakistani players termed Younis Khan’s presence in the dressing room as a positive one for batsmen.
