KARACHI: Former Pakistan captain Younus Khan is all set to coach budding cricketers in Japan. Pakistan-born Japan-based businessman Abid Hussain was quoted as saying Wednesday that the batting legend had responded positively to his offer to coach players in Japan. Abid, who hails from Faisalabad, added that he always wanted to have Pakistan players visiting Japan in order to motivate cricket fans, and his offer to Younus is just another step in this regard. The businessman elaborated that he had offered the former cricketer to set up a coaching camp in Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Nagoya. When contacted, Younus confirmed he had been in talks with Abid over his proposal which seems likely, adding that the gentlemen’s game was enjoying growing popularity among nations who don’t have international teams. When asked if he would be going to Japan, Younus said he would decide soon on the matter.
