Younis Khan
FameRank: 6

"Mohammad Younis Khan" (born 29 November 1977) is a Pakistani cricketer and former captain of the Pakistan national cricket team. Younis' name is often spelled "Younis Khan", but he has been quoted as saying that he prefers the spelling "Younus". He is only the third Pakistani player to list of Test cricket triple centuries/score 300 or more runs in an innings. Like Imran Khan, he is most remembered for his leadership letting Pakistan win 2009 ICC World Twenty20. He also holds the most centuries by a Pakistani cricketer in test cricket.

On 10 March 2010, Younis, along with another player, Mohammad Yousuf (cricketer)/Mohammad Yousuf were axed by the Pakistan Cricket Board from playing for Pakistan in any format for an indefinite period, following an inquiry report which suggested that both players were involved in breaches of discipline by inciting divisions within the team. The ban was lifted three months later. Presently Younis is a key member in the ODI and Test match side. By October 22 2014, Younis reached his 25th test match century against Australia and made his 26th century in the 2nd innings of the same test match, the highest number of centuries of a Pakistani Batsman and the only sixth Pakistani batsman to hit centuries in both innings of same test match.

Tomorrow is a new day and it takes one ball to get you out but I am feeling confident and a double hundred is a possibility.

We did pack them for a manageable score, but lost track by playing some poor shots but such things happen in one-day cricket.

We . . . lost track by playing some poor shots.

Our side is very balanced now, with a good bowling attack, and the batting prowess shown by our players in the England series is a good indication of what we are capable of. I am keenly waiting for the series to begin.

Any bowler who can reverse swing the ball at good pace can be very difficult to face on our tracks.

Malik has played sensibly as a middle-order batsman and I believe he can do the same as an opener. He is a good prospect.

He is a great batsman and capable of changing the fortunes of a game at any time.

It is good for us and bad for England. Because he was the one bowler who really mastered the art of bowling reverse swing at a good pace in the Ashes series.
