In a significant development within Pakistan cricket, former captain and head coach Waqar Younis has decided to step down from his role as an adviser to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

According to sources, Younis has expressed his desire to work more closely with players in the upcoming “Champions Tournaments” as a mentor, signaling a shift in his involvement with the sport.

Waqar Younis, who took on the role of cricket adviser last month under PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, was responsible for handling matters related to the national cricket team. However, he has now informed the PCB of his decision to transition into a more hands-on role within the domestic cricket setup.

The “Champions Tournaments,” a new initiative by the PCB, aims to revitalize domestic cricket in Pakistan. Younis, known for his extensive experience and tactical acumen, believes he can contribute more effectively as a mentor to emerging cricketers.

Sources confirm that Younis has already submitted his application for the mentor position and is expected to be appointed soon.

Waqar Younis has had a storied career in Pakistan cricket, both as a player and in various coaching roles. His decision to step down as an adviser reflects his ongoing commitment to nurturing the next generation of cricketers in Pakistan.

The PCB is yet to officially announce his new role, but insiders suggest that his involvement in the “Champions Tournaments” could be a game-changer for domestic cricket in the country.
