Younis Khan given guard of honour at Dominica

DOMINICA: Pakistan batsman Younis Khan was given the guard of honour by West Indies captain Jason Holder and his men before the start of the second-last innings – probably even the last of his international cricket career.

Holder and other players lined up to form a guard of honour as the great batsman came in to bat on the Dominican ground on Thursday.

Younis Khan became the first Pakistan batsman to score 10,000 test runs, reaching the milestone against West Indies in the opening match of his farewell international series.

Both Younis and captain Misbah-ul-Haq are retiring from international cricket at the end of this match, as Pakistan chase their first Test series win in the Caribbean.
