LONDON: Pakistan bowling coach Waqar Younis will return home after the first Test against New Zealand — which will be played from December 26-30 at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui — to meet his family, whom he has not met since June.
Waqar had requested the team management to be granted leave so that he can spend additional time with his immediate family, which will be in Lahore before returning to Sydney, Australia, on January 17, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in a statement on Tuesday.
He will rejoin the side in time for the series against South Africa, which starts with the first Test in Karachi on January 26.
“Considering Waqar has not seen his family since June, we took a pragmatic view of his request and have allowed him to return home early ” said Pakistan manager Mansoor Rana.
