'Looking forward to learn the most from you' - Rashid speaks highly of the newly appointed batting consultant

As Younis Khan is announced as the batting consultant of the Afghanistan team for the upcoming Abu Dhabi training camp, leg-spinner Rashid Khan is keen to learn from Pakistan's great.

Younis will join his former teammate Umar Gul for a short stint of 15 days with the Afghanistani side and guide the 25-player squad in the UAE training and preparatory camp.

As the announcement broke, Younis took to Twitter and expressed his joy upon getting a chance to help Afghanistan in their cricketing journey.

"It has been my utmost desire to work with Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) as a coach, and the discussions have been going on since 2011 during my playing days. I now feel it's the right time and the UAE camp is a perfect opportunity to work with ACB and get to know the upcoming talent more closely," Younis tweeted.

Rashid posted a reply to the 44-year-old's tweet, welcoming the legendary batsman into the coaching setup of the team. 

"Pakhair raghle Younus Bhai, looking forward to learn the most from you, INSHALLAH," Rashid wrote.

During his brief coaching stint, Younis Khan will look to replicate the success he enjoyed as a player. He is the highest run-scorer of Pakistan in Test cricket, amassing 10,009 runs in his 17-year long career.
