Younis Khan Reflects on Bob Woolmer's Impact

Former Pakistan captain Younis Khan expressed that had Bob Woolmer, the late head coach, been alive, Pakistan cricket would have achieved great heights. Woolmer was found dead in his hotel room in Jamaica shortly after Pakistan's elimination from the 2007 World Cup, a loss that left the team and the cricketing world in shock. Younis recalled his close relationship with Woolmer and the routine discussions they had after matches, lamenting that he was unable to do so the night Woolmer passed away. He emphasized that Woolmer's guidance could have drastically changed the trajectory of Pakistan cricket. Younis also criticized the lack of support the players received during the subsequent investigation into Woolmer's death, indicating that the experience affected his willingness to captain Pakistan long-term. Woolmer's death was ruled to be due to natural causes after a thorough investigation by Jamaican authorities and additional officials sent from Pakistan.
