Former Pakistan Skipper Younis Khan has expressed his desire to see his nation shining through his achievements.
Younis has scored 8814 Test runs in 101 matches and is just 19 runs short from eclipsing Javed Miandad's record of 8,832 runs. As per reports, Younis Khan said he is still more than a thousand runs short to 10,000 runs destination but he is very hopeful to fulfill his desire.
According to local media report, “Here, I must emphasize once again that playing for Pakistan and making my country shine through my achievement is what is always paramount for me,” he clarified.
“Whenever I see the names of the Australian players, the Indians, even Sri Lankans such as Mahela Jayawardene and [Kumar] Sangakkara among the record run-getters in cricket history, my resolve to see Pakistan’s name in that list grows stronger. Insha’Allah I hope to feature among that list of players having 10,000 or more runs to their name and that will do my country proud," he added.
Pakistan will play three Test matches, four ODIs and three T20 internationals against England from October 13 in United Arab Emirates.
