PAKISTAN has a history of producing sportsmen, great cricketers. One more addition to such an illustrious list is that of Younis Khan. On Tuesday, Younis surpassed Javed Miandad as the highest run scorer in Tests for Pakistan.
Younis Khan has been a consistent performer. He belongs to that rare breed of superstars in Pakistan cricket who place team spirit over and above personal ambition, and ego. Humility and greatness are of equal measure in true legends.
Younis`s record needs to be cherished by every Pakistan cricket fan, yet the feat must have been much more profound had it been achieved in front of the home crowd.
Will the future record breakers in Pakistan ever get such an opportunity that Younis Khan couldn`t? This is where the ICC and neighbouring cricketing nations should foster a close partnership with the PCB to catalyst the return of international cricket in Pakistan.
