The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has confirmed that Yasir has been rested from the national team and asked to meet the new spin advisor in Lahore. Yasir, who has taken 200 wickets in Test cricket, is in poor form for the last few days. Mushtaq will work 120 days a year with the domestic bowlers of the Under 16 and Under 19 teams at the National Cricket Academy. Mushtaq, who was a spin consultant for the West Indies team, has been a bowling coach at the National Cricket Academy earlier.
