Wasim akram Mohammad Younus Khan born 29 November is a Pakistani cricketer and former captain of the Pakistan national cricket team. Younis retired from the format straight after, a graceful and dignified gesture from a complex but honest man. It is as a batsman, and a fearless one, that he made his name first, playing with a flourish. He is especially strong in the arc from backward point to extra cover. He is prone to getting down on one knee and driving extravagantly.

He came back for the one-day series against India, but failed to cement a place in the Test side.

It was his return to the side in October , at the pivotal one-down position, against Sri Lanka in Karachi that laid the groundwork for his emergence as a force in Pakistan cricket. Younis was the top run-getter in the disastrous 3–0 whitewash in Australia immediately after and on the tour of India, for which he was elevated as vice-captain.

After a horror start to the series, he came back strongly, capping things off with in the final Test. It was his highest Test score that came off balls in the first innings, to set up a series levelling victory in Bangalore.[35][36][37]

Apart from being an accomplished batsman, Younis is also a skilled slip fielder and a very occasional leg-spin bowler.

Once, Craig McMillan hit Younis for 26 runs, 4 4 4 4 6 4 in an over, a then world record, during the 3rd Test at Westpac Trust Park, Hamilton.[38] He has performed particularly well on foreign grounds, including on tours of Australia, India, England and Sri Lanka. In the six Tests he has played against India, Younis averages an exceptional , the highest average against India by a Pakistani cricketer.[39] Apart from his at Bangalore, Younis also made at Kolkata in [40] and a pair of centuries during India's trip to Pakistan in [41] More importantly, the tour to India also showcased his potential as a future captain of Pakistan and his energetic and astute leadership impressed many people.

Also in , Younis made a century in the third Test against England at Headingley.[42] On 22 January , he scored a matchwinning unbeaten 67 in the 4th innings to guide Pakistan to victory over South Africa in Port Elizabeth. The five wicket win levelled the series at 1–1.[43]

In , he was one of the 15 nominees for the ICC Test Player of the Year.

He is the second fastest Pakistani in terms of innings to reach Test runs, behind Javed Miandad. Younis reached the milestone in 87 innings, just one more than Sachin Tendulkar took.[44]

For his performances in , he was named in the World ODI XI by the ICC.[45]

Younis Khan topped the ICC's Test Batting Rankings in February after an acclaimed innings of in his first Test as captain, in the process of helping save the match for Pakistan.[46] Younis ranking score of is the third highest achieved by a Pakistani batsmen after Mohammad Yousuf (), Javed Miandad () and just ahead of Inzamam-ul-Haq ().[47]

Captaincy situation

His ODI captaincy first came during West Indies touring third ODI on 22 May , where Pakistan won the match by 22 runs and sealed the series 3–0.[48] He first led Pakistan Test team against the same West Indies tour in , where regular captain Inzamam was given one-Test ban for showing dissent against India.[49] In September , he was offered the position of captain for the ICC Champions Trophy, following the suspension of Inzamam ul Haq.

He turned down the offer, stating he did not want to be a "dummy captain".[50] However, on the morning of 7 October , the Pakistan Cricket Board announced that Khan would lead his team in the tournament.[51] In the series, Pakistan won only one match and lost two, thus quit from the series in the league as well.

Following the resignation of Inzamam after the Pakistan's exit from the Cricket World Cup, Khan was offered the captaincy on a permanent basis, but he turned it down. He blamed the angry reaction by the Pakistani public to the team's early exit from the tournament.[52]

Younis led his team to the ICC World Twenty20 title for the first time by beating Sri Lanka at Lord's.

After the match, he stated that that was his last international twenty20 appearance.

After Pakistan's 2–1 defeat to Sri Lanka in , PCB chairman Ijaz Butt appointed Younis Khan as the permanent captain of both the Test and ODI teams. The appointment became effective as of 27 January [53] Shortly after accepting the post, Younis was quoted as saying, "I will try and fix things that aren't right at the moment I want our team to be consistent above all, in everything we do and that will require everyone to put their hands up." He also went on to say that he had an excellent relationship with former captain Shoaib Malik and expected his full support.

Younis went on to say that he expected full support from former captain Shoaib Malik whom he called a senior player in the side.[54]

Khan resigned as captain on 13 October due to a parliamentary investigation into match fixing that was alleged to have taken place during his reign. Despite being cleared in the investigation, Khan said "Yes I have submitted my resignation because I am disgusted by these match-fixing allegations made against me and the team."[55]

Khan also dropped a catch of Grant Elliott in the ICC Champions Trophy semi-final.[56][57] He had a hair-line fracture in his finger prior to the match.

Later PCB Chairman requested Khan to take back his resignation and Khan did it on his conditions. However, after captaining the team for a three-match series against New Zealand Younis took a break for Test matches in New Zealand and the series in Australia the captaincy was given to Mohammad Yousuf and since then Younis has not captained the national team.

Post-captaincy

Younis's career after he gave up the captaincy continued on a downwards spiral as he was banned on 10 March Pakistan Cricket Board announced that Younis Khan had been banned indefinitely for "infighting which brought down the whole team during the tour of Australia in January".[62] His ban was however overturned three months later in June [15] Despite being cleared of any wrongdoing, Younis was not selected for the series against England.[63] Pakistan continued to suffer frequent batting collapses against England in Test cricket.

This put the Pakistan Cricket Board under pressure to restore Younis to the game. Around the same time, Pakistani batsman and Test Captain Salman Butt was suspended on charges of being involved in spot-fixing. This resulted in several former captains including Moin Khan and Zaheer Abbas wanting Younis reinstated to the Test team as captain.[64] However, the Pakistan Cricket Board did not clear Younis for selection on the tours of South Africa in Despite being the first-choice for captaincy, the selecting panel Mohsin Khan announced that Misbah-ul-Haq was recalled and made captain.[65] Signs of an improvement in the relationship of the Pakistan Cricket Board and Younis began to emerge after the board contacted Younis to potentially be selected for the tour Against South Africa in October [66]

On 31 August , the Daily Telegraph in its news article mentioned that Younis Khan was associated with alleged match-fixer Mazhar Majeed.

Younis threatened to sue the Daily Telegraph over the fact that they posted false information about Younis. The Daily Telegraph admitted that they incorrectly reported that Younis Khan was affiliated with Mazhar Majeed. After a full public apology by the Daily Telegraph, Younis dropped the defamation charges against the newspaper.[67] The Pakistan Cricket Board subsequently announced that they had successfully reconciled with Younis and that they intended to use him on the tour of South Africa in October as a replacement for the injured Mohammad Yousuf.[68]

On his comeback ODI against South Africa, Younis Khan scored 54 runs.[69] Younis then confirmed a statement by Pakistan captain Rashid Latif that he had not apologised to the PCB for his actions.

As he believed he had committed nothing wrong. He also stated that the PCB chairman Ijaz Butt did not ask Younis to apologise either.[70][71] His on-field comeback went well when he scored 73 runs and anchored Pakistan's innings Pakistan eventually won the fourth ODI against South Africa by 1 wicket.[72]

His first Test match in over 12 months also went well when he scored a century in the second innings of the first Test against South Africa this century along with a run partnership with captain Misbah-ul-Haq allowed Pakistan to salvage a draw.[73][74] Younis eventually finished unbeaten on [75] By the end of his innings of , it became Pakistan's highest score of all time while batting in the fourth innings with Pakistan at /3.

Younis played in the two-match Test series against New Zealand and Younis scored 23 in the first innings and was not required to bat in the second innings as Pakistan sealed a wicket victory.[76] During the first innings of the second Test match Younis was given caught incorrectly at short-leg when on In the post-match interview Younis took the view that "umpires are humans they make mistakes but they should reduce the errors they make, also he called for the Umpire Decision Review System to be used in all Test matches so that if an error is made it can be referred".[77]

Younis confirmed that he was available to play in all three-formats of the game.

He also announced that he was no longer in the race for the captaincy[78] After announcing his comeback to Twenty20 cricket Younis was selected for the three match Twenty20 series against New Zealand in December Younis played in all three-matches but struggled for form.
