Younis Khan, born on 29 November 1977, is a Pakistani cricket coach and former cricketer who captained the Pakistan national cricket team in all three formats and is widely regarded as one of the greatest middle-order batsmen in Test cricket. He is the only Test cricketer to have scored a century in all 11 countries that have hosted Test matches. He holds the record for the most runs and most centuries by a Pakistani in Test cricket, and on 23 April 2017 he became the first Pakistani and the 13th batsman to score 10,000 Test runs. He led Pakistan to victory at the 2009 ICC World Twenty20, their first title in that event, and was in the side that won the 2012 Asia Cup. He kept his place after Pakistan's 2003 World Cup campaign and turned down the permanent captaincy after the team's exit from the 2007 Cricket World Cup.
