Younis Ruled Out of Opening Match Against WI

Johannesburg: 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 second warm-up match against the Warriors in Benoni, when he and wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal went for a catch in the slips.

Shahid Afridi will lead the side in his place, while Younis will start batting from tomorrow in the hopes of being fit for Pakistan's next game, against India in Centurion on Saturday.
