Islamabad:
Pakistan skipper Younis Khan has said that
he will be seeking revenge when they play against New Zealand in a ODI series
starting next week in United Arab Emirates. Pakistan had lost to New Zealand in
the semifinals of the Champions Trophy in South Africa, a controversial loss that
almost cost him his career. "New Zealand did very well in the Champions Trophy
and I hope we could avenge our defeat by playing as a team against them," The
News quoted Younis, as saying. Younis had to face harsh criticism following Pakistan's
back-to-back losses to Australia and New Zealand to exit from the Champions Trophy.
He was pressurized from all sides to quit after he was accused of match-fixing
in the games. The charges were later cleared. Pakistan will play three one-day
internationals on November 3, 6 and 9 in Abu Dhabi, and two Twenty20 internationals
in Dubai on November 12 and 13, in a series, which was relocated to the United
Arab Emirates over security fears.
