Test match tickets news: England series crucial for Pakistan, says Younis

02/06/2010

Waqar Younis has declared the England v Pakistan matches that will be watched by fans with Test match tickets are crucial to his side's development.

Pakistan are heading to England off the back of a disappointing tour to Australia, during which they lost every match. They were then prevented from defending their World Twenty20 crown after being knocked out by Michael Clarke's Baggy Greens at the semi-final stage.

Younis, the coach of the side, explained that the tour will be critical because he will be forced to give some of the country's emerging talent an opportunity.

"I think the England tour is very important for the team, where we need to adopt a rotation policy," the former fast bowler said. "I think some new players will come into the fray."

One player who is unlikely to appear in front of fans with Test match tickets for the series is veteran batsman Mohammad Yousuf, who retired from international cricket after being banned following the Australia tour.

However, Yousuf refused to rule out a return in the future, saying: "For now, this is it."
