Younis willing to play as opener

Saturday, June 06, 2009
From our correspondent

LONDON: Pakistan captain Younis Khan is ready to open the innings if his services are needed at the top of the order in the World Twenty20 Championship.

Younis said here on Friday that he will want regular openers in the playing eleven but if needed, he can play as an opener during the tournament.

�We will give our regular openers a few chances but if needed I can come and open the innings,� said Younis.

Pakistani openers have struggled in the two warm-up matches earlier this month with only youngster Ahmed Shahzad getting some runs.

Experienced opener Salman Butt has been unimpressive in recent times while rookie batter Shahzaib Hasan misfired in the practice match against India, falling for a duck.

Some experts are of the view that Younis, who normally come in at number three, can open the innings to help give Pakistan some solid opening stands in the tournament.
