Lahore, Sep 27 (ANI): Pakistan cricket team manager Yawar Saeed has stepped down from his post in the wake of match-fixing allegations that have rocked the cricketing world.
"I will not take charge as manager of the national team again," The Dawn quoted Saeed, as saying.
Earlier, certain media reports had quoted him as saying that he had served the team for a long period, and now wanted to do something different.
"I think after 26 years in this field and managing so many teams and undertaking so many tours, I need to do something different. I would want to step down as manager after the England tour," The Daily Times quoted Saeed, as saying.
Saeed said he would be informing Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ijaz Butt regarding his decision.
"When this tour ends I will convey my desire to the board chairman as I want to do something different and spend more time with my family," Saeed said.
"If Ijaz wants me to continue I can't say no to him he is an old friend and if he says I must continue in interest of Pakistan cricket, I will listen. But I will definitely try to convince him the time is right for me to step down," he added. (ANI)
