(UDHAYAM, COLOMBO) – Record-breaking batsman admits he may reconsider his retirement plans if Pakistan still need his services
Veteran batsman and former Test captain Younis Khan has hinted that he may reconsider his retirement plans should Pakistan ask him to play on. Two weeks ago, Younis announced his decorated Test career would come to an end at the conclusion of the three-Test series against the West Indies.
“I could have played more,” the 39-year-old told cricket.com.au ahead of the first Test in Jamaica. “But I think the right time to retire is when people want you to stay, not when they are thinking your time is up. So I think it is a good time for me retire.” But asked if he would think about prolonging his Test career, Younis said it depends on whether Pakistan still want his services.
“Yeah, I will think about it,” Younis admitted. “It all depends on if my team needs me. “If they request me or people want me then why not? But it all depends on my team.”
