Karachi: When Younis Khan hangs up his bat at the end of Pakistan's tour of the West Indies, it will likely be with a final Test milestone against his name.
Younis is just 23 runs away from becoming the first Pakistan player to score 10,000 Test runs. With the first of three Tests against the West Indies in Jamaica today, few would bet against him marking his swansong with a final foray into the record books.
Since his debut in 2000 against Sri Lanka, he proved his ability to adapt to different conditions by scoring centuries in every Test playing nation, including double hundreds in India and England. His batting average of 53.06 is the highest by any Pakistani who has played 10 Tests or more. Younis produced his greatest performances with his back against the wall.
