Younis Khan will be Pakistan's full-time batting coach, after he accepted a long-term deal from the PCB to train the national team at least until the 2022 World T20. The PCB also has the option to consider extending Khan's contract for another term, till the 2023 50-over World Cup. In addition to his role with the national team, Khan will also run the Batsmen Development Program at the Hanif Mohammad High Performance Centre in Karachi.

Khan had travelled with the team to England during the summer on a short-term stint as a batting consultant, with the PCB keen to fully integrate him into the coaching system. His immediate assignment now will be to assist the team's head coach Misbah-ul-Haq in New Zealand, as Pakistan will fly out on November 23 for a tour that includes three T20Is and two Tests.
