Pakistan have left Younis Khan
out of their ODI squad for the series against Australia in the UAE.
Younis made an ODI comeback last month, during the Sri Lanka tour, not
having played 50-over cricket for Pakistan since March 2013. He scored 3
in his only innings of the series before he had to fly home following the death of his nephew.
The selectors' decision to drop Younis is a blow to his stated aim
of playing in next year's World Cup and chief selector Moin Khan said
it would be hard for the batsman to be considered for the World Cup
squad. In Younis' place, Pakistan have brought back the middle-order
batsman Umar Amin and Asad Shafiq.
