The peon entered the room and said to Shahryar Khan, “Sir Younis Khan has come to meet you.†The PCB chairman was busy in a meeting with someone else at that time, so he replied, “Tell him to wait for 5 minutes and I will call him.†When this message was given to Younis Khan, he became furious, “I am the captain of the Pakistani team and they are asking me to wait.â€_x000D_
Media representatives were also present on the ground floor of the Gaddafi Stadium at that time. Younis Khan announced his resignation as captain in front of them. The board, under compulsion, handed over the leadership to Mohammad Yousuf at the last minute for the Champions Trophy 2006. Shahr Khan Khan also resigned after some time. Despite the victory in the T20 World Cup, his tough attitude led to rebellion from fellow cricketers, his sudden retirement from ODIs after playing just one match of the series after returning to the team in 2015, his objection to Mudassar Nazar being given a room in the academy and leaving the coaching course, his famous phrase “Should I shoot myself†when he was not given the A category of the central contract, his resignation from the post of batting coach, his fight with Hasan Ali, these are just a few examples._x000D_

Younis Khan has been associated with as many controversies as he has achieved in cricket for Pakistan. Many former PCB chiefs used to say that “It is very difficult to deal with Younis Khan.†Now the board is once again considering giving him some responsibility, so the question arises that “Who will handle him?†If he leaves angry over something, who will convince him?_x000D_
_x000D_
One solution is that the person who is trying to bring him to the board should be made the team manager. He will also handle the communication between the officials and Younis. But the cricketers may not be happy with this. Let’s see what the officials decide._x000D_
_x000D_
The problem with some of us is that they consider themselves the most intelligent, honest, domineering and ignorant. They think that they know the most about every issue. The importance of others is of no importance to them. They are slaves of ego. In such a situation, no one knows when something will go wrong and they will react strongly._x000D_
_x000D_
Younis Khan is undoubtedly one of the best former stars in Pakistani cricket history, but because of his style, he made few friends. Sometimes, the entire board was looking for him and he would turn off his mobile phone and go fishing._x000D_
_x000D_
Now, the board should first think about what to do in such a situation. His experience can definitely come in the name of young cricketers, but while assigning a task, it would be appropriate to decide what his domain will be, who he will contact, which room will be available in the Lahore academy, etc. Younis Khan’s image among the public is very good. Undoubtedly, he spent a spotless career in this regard while staying away from corruption._x000D_
_x000D_
Fans want Younis to be associated with the Pakistan team, but for this, he will have to change himself too. Leave your ego at home, come to Lahore and only think about the betterment of Pakistan cricket. Maybe some unpleasant things will happen during this time, but forgive them and move forward._x000D_
_x000D_
PCB should also use them carefully, maybe they will come and bring some improvement in the performance of the national team._x000D_
_x000D_
There are reports that Younis can be made a test coach, if he gets this post, he will have to adopt a friendly attitude towards the cricketers as well, excessive harshness spoils things, similarly, talks are going on for Mohammad Hafeez to join the board, after the change of chairman a few years ago, when he left the post of team director, he kept criticizing the authorities severely, during this time he gradually started getting isolated, then a friend came in handy and now he has fixed things._x000D_
_x000D_
Hafeez understands cricket but people called him a professor so much that now he feels that no one understands matters more than him, he is a bold person and can make decisions that others may think twice about making, like in the past there was a change in the batting order of some players, he can still do a lot for domestic cricket but he will also have to work within his own jurisdiction._x000D_
_x000D_
There is no doubt that both Younis and Hafeez are sincere with domestic cricket and want to do something good, but for this it is important not to repeat the previous mistakes and start a new era. The board wants former cricketers with good reputation to be given responsibilities so that they can bring domestic cricket on the right track. Now it is the responsibility of the former stars to see the amount written on the check and also play an important role in improving the performance of the national team._x000D_
_x000D_
Unfortunately, our former players have not done anything for the country, they have still lived with talk, if they get a job in the board, then criticism, the limit is that the team defeated Australia, even then the critics did not shut up._x000D_
_x000D_
When India banned commentary in the IPL, some lost their tours and dollars. Later, Pakistani YouTube channels were banned, and some former cricketers’ shops were closed. Earlier, they used to sell Kohli and Rohit’s gossip. Now, the poor guys are struggling to stay relevant. However, Younis and Hafeez have stayed away from such matters. Everyone should be tested.
