Asia Cup 2018: India, Pakistan Game Will be Interesting to Watch – Younis Khan

Younis Khan, the former Pakistan skipper recently admitted that Pakistan and India encounter in the upcoming Asia Cup 2018 will be an exciting one to watch.

Meanwhile, the two neighbouring countries will clash on September 19 at Dubai International Stadium. This is the first time they will play against each other since the Champions Trophy last year. Pakistan defeated India to lift the trophy for the first time in England.

Speaking to media, at a cricket camp in Balochistan, Khan said, the game between Pakistan and India will be exciting. Younis Khan also added, there is a fifty-fifty chance for both the teams and the best will win.

The veteran batsman who led Pakistan to their victory in the 2009 ICC World T20, said, regular series between the two countries is important.

A series like Ashes can be played between the two teams,” Khan said. “It doesn’t have to be every year. It would be every two years or three years,” he added.

On the subject of leagues and domestic cricket, Younis Khan said, league cricket like the Pakistan Super League (PSL) is essential for the improvement of cricket in the country.

Bangladesh and India both have their own cricket leagues and their cricket has vastly improved,” he said. “Shadab Khan, Hasan Ali, Fakhar Zaman and Shaheen Shah Afridi all came through PSL,” he added.

Moreover, he added, department cricket is now in competition with regional cricket. He said, if money is brought into the domestic circuit, we will get better results

Even if the two are merged there will still be new talent. The important thing is to give the same level of importance to domestic cricket that we give to international cricket,” Younis Khan concluded.
