Ex-spinner Tauseef Ahmed has lashed out at batting coach Mohammad Yousuf, saying he is not required with the Pakistan team.
There is speculation that Yousuf may become the national team’s permanent batting coach.
However, Tauseef pointed out that the legendary batsman should be helping develop players’ skills at the National High Performance Centre.
“You are required in the academy, not with the team,” he was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan.
