Younis, who retired from international cricket some two years ago, is thecountry’s most successful Test batsman amassing over 10,000 runs in thisformat. It was further learnt that the idea to bring Younis into Under-19set-up was initiated by current PCB chairman Ehsan Mani.

PCB’s managing director Wasim Khan eventually held a number of meetingswith Younis, but financial issues always led to failure.
