Reflecting on Younis' performance, Waqar said that the decision to use Younis 'wasn't successful', adding that it was 'not too tough' to drop a senior player, the Express Tribune reported. Waqar further said that when they used Younis at number three or four he was 'not scoring runs' so they used him as an opener, 'but it didn't work'.
Vowing to stage a comeback, Waqar said that 'it was just the start and there were more games to play and they would come back in the matches ahead', the report added.
