Karachi: Jul 26, 2012

 

Waqar Younis on Thursday said that talks with Cricket Australia (CA) for the coaching job have not been successful.

 

The former Pakistan pacer was one of the candidates to replace bowling coach Craig McDermott, who quit after Australia’s tour of West Indies in May.

 

However, Waqar revealed that the talks had failed and he was not in contention for the position anymore.

 

“I was interested, but it didn’t work out between me and Cricket Australia,” Waqar was saying by the The Dawn.

 

Waqar, who resigned as Pakistan’s coach last year citing personal reasons, is based in Sydney and was eager to work with the Australia team.

 

Waqar, who took 373 Test wickets in a 14-year career, said what he was offering was different from what CA was looking for.
