Its really time. He has been in very poor form, that too on Asian grounds.
If the flare is gone, please do yourself favor and retire gracefully.

I agree.

Re: Time for Younis Khan to retire from all types of cricket

I think we should give Younus Khan one more test series before we decide his fate. We decided the fate of Mohammed Yousuf too early, lets not make the same mistake with Younus Khan.

But what if he makes a 100?

Then, it is time to introduce some latest world tools to PCB, such as Microsoft Excel for starters. That they can use to draw charts and stuff and do a trend analysis. :bummer:

NO

If anyone needs to be discarded (from both test and ODI teams), it is Umar Gul. He is just not penetrative enough in tests or ODIs

Re: Time for Younis Khan to retire from all types of cricket

Younis needs to quit ODIs for sure

Younis for sure is not having a great 2012 but look at his remarkable consistency in tests b/w 2004-2011 (averaging 50+ each year)

Re: Time for Younis Khan to retire from all types of cricket

I agree with GoldenAsif here...its umar gul who needs to retire from all forms of cricket...when was the last time you saw him bowl well? umm yeah I don't actually remember...Pakistan desperately need another new bowler in the test and odi team.

Re: Time for Younis Khan to retire from all types of cricket

Tests? perhaps not, Limited over cricket? for SURE.

12

Re: Time for Younis Khan to retire from all types of cricket

I think he is still needed at test level for T20 and ODI not any more

Re: Time for Younis Khan to retire from all types of cricket

Younis > Misbah

So Who needs to retire

Re: Time for Younis Khan to retire from all types of cricket

Afridi.

Re: Time for Younis Khan to retire from all types of cricket

Overall, Younis for sure is a better test batsman than Misbah but the latter also averages a decent 45.68. Infact he’s done quite well over the past 3 years

Tests:
**Misbah (performance by year) ave: 45.68
**HowSTAT! Player Analysis by Year

**Younis (performance by year) ave: 51.69
**HowSTAT! Player Analysis by Year

In ODIs I would say Misbah (no hundreds yet but he’s more consistent with the bat) has been a better batsman than Younis (just my opinion)
**
Misbah (ODIs) - ave: 42.16

Younis (ODIs) - ave: 32.19

Younis is surely going through a bad form, but we have seen him making a great comeback quite often. He still got some cricket left in him.

Re: Time for Younis Khan to retire from all types of cricket

Moderator sahib, the thread is about Younis :chai:

Re: Time for Younis Khan to retire from all types of cricket

Younis khan should not retire. He still is quite fit and capable of scoring runs (but only at TEST level). Unfortunately his ODI form is not upto it anymore and we need to build for the future.

Re: Time for Younis Khan to retire from all types of cricket

The thing I really dislike about him he gets out on 0s and low digits scores like 3, 4 or 8. :hoonh: Instead of going out on 20s and 30s. And he’s increased this tendency in recent years, no doubt attributed to Younis’ aging reflexes. I’ve seen more 0s and ducks from him this year than previous ones.
