Lahore, March 30: Newly-appointed Pakistan coach Waqar Younis has asked Mohammad Yousuf to reconsider his decision of quiting international cricket and said the former captain still has plenty to offer to the country.
“Yousuf still had lot of cricket left in him and he should review his decision for the sake of Pakistan cricket,” Waqar said after the senior batsman announced his retirement today.
Yousuf announced his retirement at a press conference in Karachi, saying that he was disheartened by Pakistan Cricket Board’s treatment and also because the board had accused him of being a disruptive influence on the team.
Yousuf’s retirement came at a time when the board has imposed an indefinite ban on him on the recommendations of a inquiry committee that looked into reports of infighting on the recent tour of Australia.
