However, his failure to deal with sensitive issues has made it clear that he is not the right man for the job, said a source in the PCB.

According to the source, Yawar has been asked to step down as manager after the conclusion of the tour of Sri Lanka. Similarly, assistant manager Mohammad Ahmed has also been asked to quit the post.

Some influential officials in the PCB governing board are also gunning for the resignation of Intikhab Alam, the team's coach. They are of the view that Intikhab has failed to deliver the goods in Sri Lanka and should pay for his team's poor showing during the series.

Some critics believe that captain Younis Khan is also responsible for the spate of defeats in Sri Lanka as he has failed to unite the team even after a stunning title-winning triumph in the ICC World Twenty20 championship in England last month.

Sources, however, said that the fate of the duo will be decided after Butt holds separate meetings with Intikhab and Younis next week. The PCB chairman has also asked the coach and captain to submit separate reports on the tour.
