Former Pakistan batter Younis Khan has asked the country’s apex cricket board to back the players who are chosen for the T20 World Cup 2022 that happens in Australia in October-November. 

Pakistan, who is right now playing a 7-match series against England, has already named their 15-part squad alongside three reserves for the upcoming competition. 

However, the deadline set by ICC for the squad declaration is October 9. If the sides need to make changes after the deadline, it must be authorized by ICC.

Younis feels that the Pakistan Cricket Board shouldn’t fiddle with their side and considered the chosen players the “best bunch”.

“There is always this hue and cry that the team needs changing. We tried this last time. Now, I think they should not embarrass themselves, all of a sudden changing the team. Our coaches, captain, and PCB have to utilize these very players. These are the only players you have, there won’t be any coming in from anywhere else, and this is the best bunch,”

said Younis as quoted by Cricket Pakistan.

Pakistan’s ongoing 7-match T20I series against England is currently tied at 2-2 after four matches. The side won the fourth T20I by three runs on Sunday. The fifth match of the series takes place on September 28.

After this series, Pakistan will play a tri-series with Bangladesh and New Zealand before going into the World Cup in Australia.
