As Pakistan’s campaign labours through troubles Down Under, their premium batsman Younis Khan has decided to call it quits from the One-Day Internationals after the 50-over World Cup ends.
Younis Khan, who has been in wretched form, took to social media and announced his retirement. He will however, keep representing Pakistan in the Test matches.
Younis Khan has scored over 7,000 runs for Pakistan in ODIs but has received severe criticism from all quarters for his lackluster performance in the World Cup. He scored only six against arch-rivals India before succumbing to a vicious bouncer from Mohammed Shami and then failed to open his account against the West Indies. Pakistan lost both game comprehensively.
Senior cricketers like Shahid Afridi and skipper Misbah-ul-Haq had already announced their decision to retire from the ODIs even after the mega event. Younis’ retirement now, leaves a gaping hole in the Pakistani batting unit.
