LAHORE: Hours after pulling out of Pakistan’s touring party to New Zealand, newly-appointed batting coach Mohammad Yousuf said he will be travelling with the squad.
The Pakistan Cricket Board had announced that Yousuf had opted out due to his daughter’s illness with a new-look Pakistan team scheduled to leave for New Zealand in the wee hours of Wednesday to play five Twenty20 Internationals and three One-day Internationals against the Black Caps.
Three hours after the initial notification of his withdrawal, the PCB issued another statement announcing the batting great will be on the flight after his daughter’s health had improved.
“Doctors have informed me that the health of my daughter is now better so now I am going with the team to New Zealand,” Yousuf was quoted as saying.
