KINGSTON: Legendary Pakistan batsman Younis Khan has rejected the reports that he is reconsidering his decision to retire.
In a video statement on Sunday, Younis confirmed that his decision to retire from international cricket after the Test series against West Indies is final.
“There are rumors that I am taking back my decision to retire from Test cricket. There is no truth in the rumors. My decision to retire from Test cricket is final,” he said.
The veteran batsman, who is just 23 runs away from becoming the first Pakistani cricketer to score 10,000 Test runs, said he announced his retirement after careful deliberation and would not take back his decision.
“I will not take back my retirement even if I score a century in every innings during the West Indies series,” Younis said, stressing that there was no need for any ‘conspiracy theories’.
“I play for Pakistan, not India,” he said, as he urged his fans not to doubt his abilities and keep supporting Pakistan. Younis further asked the fans to pray for Pakistan’s victory against the West Indies.
