Younis, 31, had earlier suffered a minor fracture on his little finger during a training session on Friday, but had downplayed the injury. "It's a little fracture. Nothing serious," he had said. We will assess it on Monday. Hopefully it should be alright.
Pakistan captain Younis Khan has been ruled out of the team's opening match of the Champions Trophy, against West Indies in Johannesburg on Wednesday, after suffering a hairline fracture on the little finger of his right hand. He picked up the injury while fielding in Pakistan's first warm-up match against Sri Lanka on Friday in Benoni, when he and wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal went for a catch in the slips.
What kind of outside things do you mean, and how much of an issue is it?
It's difficult because many times you have to fight for your own boys against your own people. Selectors, management and all others, they come in with their ideas and thoughts and opinions. Some say bring young guys, some say stick to older players. Everyone has their own opinion and it becomes difficult at times because you have to fight against your own people and you're defending your own boys. I have to decide when to fight, with whom, on what. Ultimately you have to decide what you feel is right and act on that. There are people who listen and agree and there are others who debate. I try to debate. In that process, some people like me and some don't.
