Pakistan takes on Sri Lanka: The Hindu

KARACHI: Pakistan captain Younis Khan believes his team must quickly adapt to a new-look line-up as it prepares to play its first Test in 14 months when it takes on Sri Lanka from Saturday.

Pakistan will be without Mohd. Yousuf — out of the side for signing with the Indian Cricket League — fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar (fitness problems) and Shahid Afridi, who was dropped from the squad for the first Test. The Pakistan Cricket Board appointed Younis as captain, replacing Shoaib Malik, after last month’s one-day series against Sri Lanka.

“It’s true that few of the seniors are not with us but these seniors won’t be with us forever,” Moin said on Friday.
