Younis Khan, Pakistan's veteran batsman, has been included in the squad for the second Test against West Indies, to be played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi from Friday (October 21). The 38-year-old had missed the first game, also Pakistan's first Day-Night Test, after being advised for his recovery from a dengue fever.
The illness had previously forced the batsman from playing in the opening round matches in the domestic tournament - Quaid-e-Azam trophy. It remains to be seen if his return is made way for by Babar Azam's exclusion, who made his debut in the first Test, wherein he scored a half-century in the first innings.
Younis played a key role in Pakistan's drawn Test series in England that catapulted them to the top ranking in Tests, albeit temporarily. After slow starts in the first three Tests, Younis enthralled the crowd at The Oval with a scintillating double century in the first innings of the fourth Test, that laid the foundation for Pakistan's 10-wicket victory.
