Younus Khan to lead Pakistan

Uncertainty over the appointment of Pakistan’s captain for the final Test against India is over as Younus Khan has agreed to lead the side for the series decider.

Khan had captained the side for the Kolkata Test and also scored a match-saving century in the second innings. He first led Pakistan against the West Indies and was later appointed captain for the 2006 ICC Champions Trophy.

He also said that Pakistan would give its best to square the series and will seek inspiration from the 2005 series where the tourists won the final Test. “That win is a motivation and positive thinking is a key to win the series.”
