Those who liked him in the media gave a full support and one after the other after every series he was dropped and the media built in the pressure more and more.
Now when he was selected in the ODI series against England, Younis will only play the first match and after that he will be all gone from the 50 overs format.
The team management paid a tribute to him inside the dressing room today. Younis Khan was calm and content as he walked down the ground and received his guard of honor. The players looked emotional as they knew what they were losing today.
Pakistan batting line will come under pressure after Younis is gone. He would have given a bit of stability to the middle order.
