Former left-arm pacer Junaid Khan has been appointed bowling coach of Pakistan U19, following the unavailability of Rehan Riaz, who has opted out of the ICC U19 World Cup due to a family emergency, the Pakistan Cricket Board said in a statement on Sunday.

“Junaid, who previously served as the head coach of Islamabad Region, led the team to victory in the Hanif Mohammad Trophy and Hanif Mohammad Cup 2023-24,” it added.

The 34-year-old cricketer has represented Pakistan in 107 international matches, taking 189 wickets.
