The Pakistani national bowling coach, Waqar Younis, today resigned in protest
against alleged "mistreatment" by the PCB, sources said.
The 35-year-old former fast bowler announced his decision hours before he was
due to leave with batsman Mohammad Yousuf to join the squad in South
Africa, where Pakistan is due to play three Tests and five one-day
internationals.
"I am disappointed that they (Pakistan Cricket Board) wanted me
for only the Test series on the South Africa tour, which is mistreatment,"
Younis said.
Younis, who played 87 Tests and 262 one-day matches for Pakistan until 2004,
was appointed bowling coach in 2006 for a one-year contract, which was to expire
in April this year.
"I have conveyed my decision of leaving the post to the PCB chairman,"
Younis said.
Younis took 373 Test and 416 one-day wickets. He is also tipped to take over
as New South Wales coach.
