Waqar Younis has announced his resignation as Pakistan head coach following his team's failed campaign at the World Twenty20 in India.
Pakistan, who won the crown in 2009, could not get past the group stage of the competition after losing to India, New Zealand and Australia, with their only win coming against Bangladesh.
Younis was appointed head coach for a second spell in 2014 and helped the Test side to number two in the world, but the T20 and one-day teams sit seventh and eighth in their respective lists.
Following Pakistan's exit from the World T20 a report written by Younis, which criticised the Pakistan Cricket Board and Shahid Afridi's captaincy, was leaked.
It read: "We lost to New Zealand, Asia Cup and the World T20 due to poor captaincy. Over several occasions, I had made it clear that Shahid Afridi was not performing with the bat, ball or as a captain but I was not listened to.
"I had made a lot of recommendations after the 2015 World Cup, including sending some boys back to first-class cricket for at least a season so they can regain their hunger for the game and rethink their approach and attitude to play for Pakistan, but no recommendation was implemented."
Today in Lahore, Younis told reporters: "I am resigning from my post today with a heavy heart."
In reference to the leaked report, he said: "I want my recommendations to be implemented. They were not acted on when I first made them in 2015."
Younis's first spell in charge of Pakistan was in 2010 for one year.
