Younis Khan speaking on TV :-
"When we went to England in 2016, it was also being said that the Pakistan team was not that strong"
"We had 4-5 senior players (in 2016) and that is why we played that series so well"
"It is very important for any team, especially a Test team, that they have senior players in them"
"When teams go to Ireland/England in early summer months they all struggle"
"Pakistan's Test squad is looking very young and inexperienced and so I think they will struggle a lot there"
"There is a lot of bad luck with Fawad Alam"
"Fawad Alam scored a 100 on his Test debut for Pakistan which was amazing"
"He's done some amazing performances in first-class cricket and he should have been in this Test team especially at a time when Pakistan are in need of a senior player"
"There are a lot of batsmen who play with different techniques; in the past Mohammad Yousuf and Javed Miandad had different techniques too; so Test cricket is not about technique but about performances"
"Even people said about me that I had problems with my technique and I would not perform well in England"
"Seems to be a trend to promote (encourage) new players and to not promote (discourage) senior players"
"Misbah played cricket until he was 43-44 and he had top-quality performances in the last series he played"
"In my case, I played until 41 so age is just a number"
"Fawad Alam's fitness is good and his age isnt that high"
Question: If you were captain of the team, would Fawad Alam be in your team?
Answer "Absolutely he would have been"
"Fawad Alam has done some amazing performances in first-class cricket and he should have been in this Test squad"
"Ireland will be playing in home conditions and our team could struggle there, even though we are much better than them"
"They (captain, coach, Chief Selector) are all free in terms of making their decisions (on selection)"
"The important thing is that we should do what's the right thing, and not what we like"
