Former England boss Peter Moores has turned down the chance to become the new head coach of Pakistan.

Waqar Younis stepped down last month after the team's poor performance at the World Twenty20 in India, but Moores said he declined a chance to return to international coaching after England sacked him for the second time last year.

"I was hugely flattered to be approached and I was very tempted by such a prestigious role with an exciting team," Moores, currently a consultant with Nottinghamshire, told Cricinfo.

"But having thought about it deeply, I don't think it is the right time for me or my family.
