Younus set to miss Australia tour

Younus set to miss Australia tour

PCB chairman Ijaz Butt has indicated that former captain Younus Khan is unlikely to feature on the forthcoming tour of Australia.

Younus stood down as captain after last month's one-day international series defeat to New Zealand and announced he would be taking a temporary break from the game.

He was expected to soon return to domestic action with Habib Bank but has not been seen since and those close to him were recently forced to deny reports of a foot injury.

Lionel Messi should be the Champion of Champions, Vote for him now!

Butt said: "Younis should have played domestic matches to be a candidate for selection for the tour.

"However, a final decision in this regard will be taken after a meeting with the chief selector Iqbal Qasim."

Mohammad Yousuf, currently leading the team in the Test series against the Black Caps, is likely to continue as captain if Younus does not make the trip.
