Pakistan head coach Waqar Younis announced on Tuesday that he has returned for his second coaching spell.
Younis led the team to the semifinals of the 2010 World Twenty20 and 2011 World Cup before resigning in August 2011 for personal reasons, though differences with the players also reportedly played a role in his departure.
He acknowledges there were a few problems during his last tenure as coach, but a good coach is the one who negates all those problems and keeps all the players together.
Younis was also hopeful that new batting coach, Zimbabwe's Grant Flower, would help in arresting the decline in the team's batting fortunes.
He said that he has heard a lot about Flower's work ethics and he will be able to sort things out.
Waqar will supervise a short training camp later this month to get Pakistan tuned up for their two-Test and three one-day international series in Sri Lanka in August.
