    "editor1": "<p><strong>Lahore, July 7:<\/strong>&nbsp;Inzamam-ul-haq has backed Younis Khan after learning that former Pakistan batting coach Grant Flower had alleged that Pakistan&#39;s highest Test run-getter had threatened him with a knife.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Flower was Pakistan&#39;s batting coach from 2014 to 2019 and had recently said that Younis had once held a knife to his throat for offering him batting tips.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I just can&#39;t believe what Grant has been saying. I played with Younis for a long time and I know him very well. Younis is someone who can never show knife to anyone,&quot; Inzamam told Dawn News.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I am surprised why Grant is speaking about it now. I think sometime an individual wants to remain in the media limelight. Imagine such claims after more than three years have no value. Further, I never heard such incident while I was the chief selector. To me this statement has no value,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>During a conversation with brother Andy and host Neil Manthorp on the &#39;Following On Cricket Podcast&#39; for talkSPORT, Flower also said that it was coach Mickey Arthur who had to eventually intervene. Arthur himself later confirmed the incident while refusing to go into details.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier, former Pakistan wicketkeeper Rashid Latif had claimed that former India captain Mohammed Azharuddin may have played a role in the Younis Khan-Grant Flower knife episode.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We do not know what happens in the dressing room. Azharuddin can be a reason for this,&quot; said Latif in the chat show &#39;Caught Behind&#39; on Youtube.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;In 2016, Younis made a double century at the Oval. He (Younis) did not take the name of the batting coach (Grant Flower). He said that I was struggling and talked to Azharuddin.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;That is a big factor that a player is opting for someone else rather than the coach. Flower must have done some things as batting coach and has served Pakistan. I think this Azharuddin factor must have been somewhere in his (Flower&#39;s) mind,&quot; he added.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
