Pakistan batsman Younis Khan has revealed his retirement plans after playing his 100th test match in Colombo last week.
The 37-year-old right-handed batsman becomes the fourth Pakistani cricketer to playing 100th test match for his country, which makes him at the top among other players at that point of career.
He expressed his desire to achieve more than this and have certain goals, which he wants to complete before announcing his retirement from Test cricket.
Younis said in an interview: “I believe I still have a lot to achieve and there is a lot to do in life. But I managed to get to 100 Tests, which is a big honour. A country like Pakistan, where the number of matches is fewer compared to other parts of the world, even Javed Miandad took about 18 years to play 124. For me it has taken 15 years to get to 100”.
While talking about his further plans, he added, “It’s very near and obviously I will call off my career with grace. I will walk away myself, but I still have some goals in my mind and I am close to achieving those goals as well. I can't share that goal at this point, but you will know very soon”.
Khan, who made his Test debut against Sri Lanka in 2000, has scored 8640 runs in 100 Tests at 53.33 avg.
