Younis Khan on Wednesday vowed to give his best for Pakistan whenever he is presented with a chance to represent his country.
The former Pakistan captain told Geo’s popular Score programme that he is available for national duty in any format of the game.
Younis also rejected the impression that he was unhappy with the
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) decision to ‘rest’ him following the World
Cup in which he flopped after making a promising start to the
quadrennial spectacle with back-to-back fifties.
“I’m not angry with any body,” said Younis, who made news by refusing
to speak to reporters at an event in Karachi recently. “At that event I
was approached by the media but I told them I’m not here for a press
conference.
“As a player I can’t say much. My job is to perform on the field
which is why it’s my wish to stay away from the limelight,” said Younis,
who stood down as Pakistan captain just months after leading them to
the ICC World Twenty20 title.
The experienced batsman was ‘rested’ for the tour of West Indies
along with several other seasoned players as the selectors opted for a
few rookies in the touring party.
Younis said that since quitting captaincy, he is been trying to avoid the spotlight off the field.
“I’ve been trying to stay away from the spotlight off the field
because I believe that as a player my job is to play for my country to
the best of my abilities,” he said.
