Johannesburg: Pakistan skipper Younus Khan confirmed India's worst fears by admitting that his side would field their reserve players in tomorrow's ICC Champions Trophy game against Australia at Centurion. "We will make a few changes, some are forced.
Imran Nazir has a broken finger. Mohammad Asif deserves a look in, so do Fawad Alam and Iftikhar Rao.
They need to be brought in. Some changes would certainly be made," said Younus ahead of tomorrow's game.
Younus himself is battling with a fractured right finger but lamented mockingly that nobody in his side wants to give him a rest. He though pooh-poohed the claim that Pakistan would look to lose against Australia tomorrow and dump India out of the tournament.
"Me as a person don't think in that manner. Given a choice, I would love to have an India-Pakistan final."
We saw at Centurion the other night when the two sides played. It was the only game in this tournament where the stands were jam-packed.
Everyone wants to watch an India-Pakistan game. "It's critical for players too."
I made my mark against India and was quickly accepted. Same happens for India if a young player of theirs makes a mark against us," Younus said.
