The former Pakistan Captain Imran Khan believed that experienced batting duo of Younis Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq should bat at number three and four spots in ongoing Cricket World Cup (CWC) which would be more fruitful and benefiting.
"Younis and Misbah are our best Pakistan batsmen and should bat up in the top order instead of batting in a crisis situation down," he told a private Television Channel in his comments. Younis and Misbah have to bat under pressure situation if wickets fell early," he said.
"War is always fought from the front and we should use our best batman upfront for the job," he said. "We must set up our batting order right for better batting show," he said. "I am surprised that why Younis and Misbah were kept away from cricket for quite some time. It did a great harm and damage to Pakistan cricket," he said.
He said Kamran Akmal can bat at the top if he shows consistency. However he described his keeping against Sri Lanka as horrible. Despite major lapses Pakistan team was lucky to win close the game," he said.
Imran Khan under whom Pakistan won the 1992 World Cup at Melbourne complimented Pakistan's 11-run victory over Sri Lanka in the second league round. However he said the real competition starts from the quarterfinals.
