Every year, two players are selected by the Bradman Museum that has shown outstanding performance in international cricket competitions.
Considered one of the greatest fast bowlers alongside fellow countryman Wasim Akram, the former captain of Pakistan accumulated 789 wickets international wickets during his illustrious cricket career and was most well known for his toe crushing yorkers.
Younis was 1992 Wisden Cricketer of the Year and was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame in 2013. Back in August, Younis also received the Hilal-e-Imtiaz, Pakistan's 2nd highest civilian honour.
