Asif said that Younis did not know how to bowl with the new ball for most of his career and only learned the art at the backend of his career. Asif said that Younis used to cheat and that’s the only way he became a threatening bowler.

Asif believes that Younis is not the right man for the job and he should be replaced with immediate effect. He added that Younis should have been able to produce at least one top-notch bowler during his multiple stints as coach of the national team.
