Coach will continue in role for Zimbabwe tour

Pakistan coach Waqar Younis has resigned citing personal reasons, although he will continue in the job through the forthcoming tour of Zimbabwe. "I have tendered my resignation to the board last week and the tour to Zimbabwe will be my last," the 39-year-old former fast bowler said. "I have taken this decision on personal grounds, including medical grounds, and have no differences with anyone and my resignation has been accepted by the board." Waqar took over as coach in March 2010, but has since faced controversies including the spot-fixing scandal, dissent from players and differences with former one-day captain Shahid Afridi. Pakistan are due to play one Test, three one-day internationals and two Twenty20 matches on the tour of Zimbabwe, which starts on August 28.
