DUBAI (AP) - Pakistan batsman Younis Khan says he is surprised after selectors dropped him for the five-match one-day series against South Africa.
The 35-year-old Khan feels he s fitter than he was at 24 and says "I am surprised I am not in the one-day team, it was shocking news for me."
Khan is a veteran of 253 one-day internationals and has scored 7,014 runs, but was also ignored for the last ODI series against Zimbabwe.
He retired from the shortest format of cricket in 2009 after leading Pakistan to victory at the World Twenty20 in England.
Khan also wants to leave ODI cricket on a high note, saying "the day I feel I can t play I will be an honest man to leave, but not like this to get dropped."
