Upheaval in Pakistan cricket, this veteran suddenly resigned; also gave a big reason

Pakistan Cricket Board: Recently, the Pakistan cricket team faced criticism from all sides after losing the Test series 2-0 against Bangladesh. After this defeat, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) organized a special connection camp to communicate with the players, so that the performance of the team could be improved. Amidst this difficult period, former Pakistan cricket captain Mohammad Yousuf resigned from the post of National Selector. While resigning, Yousuf cited his personal reasons and shared his views on social media.

Yousuf explained the reason for leaving the post

Mohammad Yousuf wrote on his official 'X' (formerly Twitter) account, "I announce my resignation as the selector of the Pakistan cricket team for personal reasons. It has been an honor for me to serve this wonderful team. I am proud that I contributed to the progress and success of Pakistan cricket. I have full faith in the ability and enthusiasm of my players. I wish the team all the best for the future." Yousuf's coaching career

Mohammad Yousuf had been serving in various roles related to the Pakistan Cricket Board for some time. He has also served as the batting coach of the National Senior Team and has also taken over as the head coach of the Pakistan Under-19 team. Apart from this, Yousuf also played an important role in the National Selection Committee. This committee was made up of various experienced members including the head coach, captain, two former Test players and an analyst. This committee also included former players like Asad Shafiq.

The timing of Yousuf's resignation has come at a challenging time for Pakistan cricket, where frequent changes have been seen in the selection committee and related systems. In such a situation, Yousuf's departure is considered a big blow to Pakistan cricket.

Dissatisfied with criticism and pressure

According to a source close to Yousuf, he was dissatisfied with his recent criticism. He was particularly disappointed with the criticism of some PCB stakeholders and junior players. Along with this, he was being repeatedly targeted in the media and on social media, making him feel uncomfortable. Due to all this, he decided that it would be better for him to focus on coaching now.

This year, PCB had given equal rights to all the selectors and abolished the post of Chief Selector, but despite this, Yousuf has put Pakistani cricket in a new challenge by resigning for personal reasons. Now it remains to be seen how the Pakistan Cricket Board deals with this situation and what steps it takes to bring the team back on the path of victory.
