Karachi, January 06: Younus Khan’s return to the Pakistan team got prolonged after chief selector Iqbal Qasim made it clear that the former captain will not be send for the final Test against Australia starting January 14 instead he will be considered for the forthcoming ODI series Down Under.
Qasim told reporters yesterday that there was no logic behind sending Younus to Australia for the final Test at Hobart as they want to give him more time to regain his touch by playing in the domestic circuit.
“We have decided not to send Younus to Australia for the Tests as we already have a settled batting combination there and we don’t want to upset it now after two Tests,” he said.
