Younis Khan speaking to Bazid Khan after the third Test against West Indies:
"It was a wonderful match, just like a Test match should be between two great nations. It was amazing and I would like to thank the Pakistan team for giving us such a send-off. I don't think it's possible for any cricketer to have a more amazing and happier ending."
"My career has been how every cricketer's journey should be. I migrated to Karachi in early 80s and my father and family deserve credit for this decision. It wasn't easy for me to play cricket in Karachi as the area I live in is a bit outside the city so the daily travel, daily practice then from Under-14 for U19 and then Grade 2 cricket was a long process. If I measure that in days and hours, it would amount to thousand days and thousands of hours. The journey I started in the 80s from the Under-14s has led me here."
"I wouldn't say I'm one of Pakistan's greatest cricketers but I tried my best to do something or to leave some legacy which my country remembers me by and I think I achieved that."
"The credit goes to my parents, my family, my teachers, club-mates, associations, departments and the Pakistan team, I am here today because of all of them."
"There is a lot planned for the future. I am a person who tries to make an impact no matter where I am. Even if I am at home, I try to do something on a daily basis that is worthwhile. I will try to do something and bring about some change where ever I go. I am not amongst those people who sits back and says nothing can be done."
"From my side to the whole of Pakistan, congratulations for Pakistan's first ever Test series win in West Indies. I would like to gift my 10,000 runs to the whole of my country."

that's how much I admire and love him, but let his mental fortitude on and off the pitch inspire generations; that is his legacy, somewhere in a pakistani gali there would have been a kid who on that day witnessed a glorious career come to end, that beautiful smile draped in the star and crescent and says to himself "I want to be like Khan" this is real greatness and leaving a legacy behind.
