Younis Khan, the former captain who led Pakistan to victory in the first T20 World Cup in 2009, expressed confidence in Pakistan’s ability to secure a berth in the top four teams at the 2017 ICC World Cup in India.

Khan emphasised the team’s talented players who have the ability to win games during a news conference in Karachi. I think Pakistan will finish in the top four at the World Cup, he said, “because we have players who can win games any day.” He emphasised the value of thorough preparation for each game as well as the team’s advantage in having effective fast bowlers.

One of Pakistan’s most effective batsmen, Khan holds the distinction of being the only Pakistani to surpass 10,000 runs in Test cricket.
