Pakistan legend Zaheer Abbas has said that Younis Khan deserves a definite spot in the 2015 World Cup squad, after the latter scored a fine century against Australia in the Dubai Test.
Younis registered his 25th Test century against Australia. The feat took him level with Inzamam-ul-Haq’s century record and also made him the first Pakistani to score hundreds against all Test-playing nations.
Abbas pointed out that after Younis was dropped during the ODI series against Australia, Pakistan went on to lose the series 3-0, The Dawn reported.
He further added that Younis has always played positive cricket for Pakistan and said that he definitely sees the former skipper playing in the 2015 World Cup.
Abbas said it was also a good sign that skipper Misbah-ul-Haq had gained his form in the Test match, by scoring 69 runs, and stated that it had been very hard for Misbah to sit in the dressing room while the team was playing the 3rd ODI.
Abbas concluded that with Misbah and Younis both in form, the team could become a formidable one in ODIs and hoped for a good showing in the 2015 World Cup.
