Younis to lead UBL in Quaid Trophy
Nadeem said Younis may miss the opening two matches of the first-class event.
KARACHI (APP) - Former Pakistan skipper Younis Khan has been named to lead revamped UBL team in next month’s Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.
“Yes, Younis Khan has joined UBL and will lead the team in the premier first-class event,” said Nadeem Khan, head of the UBL Sports Department, while announcing the 18-member squad on Tuesday.
Nadeem said over a dozen new players had been inducted into the team to make it formidable, adding a two-day camp of the team would be held at the Arabian Sea Country Club from Wednesday.
UBL, who reached the final of President’s Trophy two years ago, will be looking to regain the glory of the 1980s and 90s when they dominated Pakistan cricket with Irfan Mirza as the chief of UBL Sports Division.
Nadeem said Younis may miss the opening two matches of the first-class event but would join the team after the Test series against England in the UAE.
