Pakistan batting legend, Mohamad Yousuf, has said that he has no reservations about working alongside Misbah-ul-Haq who is the head coach and chief selector of the Pakistan national team.
In the past, Yousuf had openly criticized Misbah for his dual role with the national team. Last month, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had appointed Yousuf as a batting coach at the National High-Performance Centre (NHPC).
