Mohammad Yousuf was the head coach of the Pakistan U19 side that stood third in the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2024 held in South Africa.
He was appointed as a member of the Pakistan team’s selection committee in March this year.
After the Green Shirts’ dismal performance and elimination from the T20 World Cup 2024, the PCB had made major changes in the team management and dismissed former pacer Wahab Riaz and former all-rounder Abdul Razzaq from the seven-member selection committee of the Pakistan team.
