Younis Ahmed

Mohammad Younis Ahmed (born 20 October 1947)[1] is a Pakistani former cricketer who played in four Test matches and two One Day Internationals between 1969 and 1987.

[2] Primarily a middle-order batsman, he played first-class cricket for Pakistan Education Board, Karachi, Lahore, Pakistan International Airlines, Surrey (playing in the side that won the County Championship in 1971), Worcestershire, Glamorgan and South Australia.

Younis also played for South Australia during the 1972/73 season, acting as the overseas player on the recommendation of Donald Bradman.

[8] Unfortunately, he was not popular with his teammates, who felt his position should have gone to a young local batsman instead of an import with only a moderate international pedigree – especially one who was rumoured to receive $1 per run for the season.

[11] However, he was banned by the Pakistan Cricket Board for participating in the DH Robins' XI tour to apartheid South Africa in late 1973.
