Islamabad, June 6(ANI): Former Pakistan captain Waqar Younis is eyeing the position of Australia's vacant bowling coach spot after Craig McDermott resigned from the post following the conclusion of West Indies series.

Younis has been interviewed for the position of Australia's bowling coach as the country's cricket board looks to find McDermott's replacement, the Express Tribune reports.

The out of job former Pakistan fast-bowler, who is based in Sydney and coached Pakistan's national team for two years, is understood to have spoken to Cricket Australia's team performance manager Pat Howard about the position.
