Former Zimbabwean test cricketer and Pakistan batting coach Grant Flower claims former captain Younis Khan held a knife to his neck at a Brisbane hotel

The incident occurred when Flower offered some batting advice during a test series against Australia.

Speaking to the Following On podcast, Flower says he considered Khan the toughest player to mentor during his tenure.

Then-coach Mickey Arthur's negotiation skills eventually saw the cutlery restored to its rightful place setting.
