Younis Khan, the Pakistan batsman, has lashed out at the PCB and selectors for dropping him for the one-day series against Australia and saying he also "out of contention" for the World Cup. He challenged the selectors to build a team without him in the mix and said he will remain sidelined until the 2015 World Cup but will not retire.
"Don't select me, not even in Tests. I sacrifice my future," Younis, 36, said on the sidelines of the ongoing domestic T20 tournament in Karachi. "I am saying a simple thing, if they are saying that youngsters are future of ODIs, then where is the future of Pakistan in Test cricket? Don't select me in Test matches and make [the youngsters] the future of Pakistan in Test cricket too. But what will happen if they can't make a team for ODIs and Test matches after five months, will they again do recalling?
