Cricket Special Report: Younis Khan- A Blessing in Disguise
There are not many people in the world who would want to give failure a second opportunity. It is very ironical but the bitter pill of failure is sometimes considered as venom, which has no antidote. And of course those who learn to accept failure as a learning
opportunity consider it as a blessing in disguise.
Time elapses pretty fast and indeed, it is very difficult sometimes to keep track of the sands of time. Hardly a year ago, many of the top Pakistani players were banned and fined after the team had an unsuccessful tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746. Some of the players were
banned for one year and particularly, Younis Khan was banned indefinitely.
As the nation mourned for losing some of their best players, Younis was lost in the wilderness of his own world. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammed-Ahmed-c77508 Qayyum, who was the lawyer of former Pakistani captain Younis Khan, was simply not happy with the proceedings. The former skipper
was about to face a continued omission from the national side and the story was over. Younis Khan faced the ultimate failure of his life.
Today a year has passed and we see that the former Pakistani captain, Younis Khan has rejoined the team; probably with the same zeal and fervour. Younis Khan saw the forth coming series against South Africa as a challenging one owing to the instability of
the Pakistani cricket team. The whole nation considers the return of Younis Khan as a blessing in disguise. Indeed Younis is the man who has the capacity to haul the Pakistani cricket team out of the deadly clutches of failure.
Younis Khan has made tremendous contributions towards the Pakistani cricket team. The player is only the third Pakistani player who has scored more than 300 runs in a single innings. Younis Khan made is first international debut in February 2000 against
Sri Lanka. Younis was one of those few batsmen who retained their position in the national team after the 2003 world cup. Apart from being an accomplished batsman, Khan was recognized as a skilled slip fielder and an occasional spin bowler.
The first time Younis Khan captained the Pakistani cricket team was against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 in 2005. Younis proved himself as an effective skipper who had the potential to fix things up whenever the team was in trouble. In 2006, Khan was offered the position
of the captain for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy. He declined the offer on the grounds that he did not want to become a “dummy captain”. However, he later accepted the offer and went on to lead the team in the tournament. As a captain, Khan dedicated his
efforts towards the reconciliation of the national cricket team. He was successful to lead his team to the ICC World Twenty20 title when the team was able to beat the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 at Lord’s.
The Pakistani cricket team badly needs seasoned players like Younis Khan. Today, Younis is cleared of all the allegations of match-fixing and infighting. His come-back in the Pakistani cricket team can play a pivotal role in upgrading the status of our cricket
team. Khan has already performed well in the One day series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Khan-c71319’s prolonged absence, the Pakistani cricket team continued to face frequent batting collapses
in the test cricket. Indeed the presence of Younis will instil the cricket spirit in the national team.
It is pertinent that the national team must reconcile at a single platform so that the team performs well in the upcoming world cup. Younis is fearless and this thing befits his Pathan ancestry. Younis will always be remembered as the second Khan who brought
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 a world title. The whole nation sees Younis khan as the man who will dedicate all of his efforts in upgrading the status of the national team. Indeed the man is a blessing in disguise.
