Former Pakistan captain Younis Khan and their first Test captain Abdul Hafeez Kardar were inducted into the PCB Hall of Fame.
“The two gentlemen will always remain shining stars of Pakistan cricket and idols for the future generations," said Ramiz Raja, PCB chairman, in an official statement.
Younis was inducted immediately after becoming eligible as the PCB Hall of Fame regulations. According to the requirements, a player should have played his last international match, at least, five years before.
Younis’ last international match was in Dominica in May 2017 — the Test which Pakistan won with six balls remaining to clinch their maiden series win in the Caribbean.
He featured in the third most Tests for Pakistan (118) in which he accumulated most runs for Pakistan (10,099) and 14th most overall in the 145-year history of Test cricket. He averaged 52.05.
The 2009 winning captain scored 34 Test centuries including six double-centuries and a career-best 313 in February 2009.
The duo has joined Abdul Qadir, Fazal Mahmood, Hanif Mohammad, Imran Khan, Javed Miandad, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Zaheer Abbas in the illustrious group.
