Difficult to fill void left by Misbah, Younis: Latif

TIL Desk Sports/ As Misbah-ul-Haq and Younis Khan bid adieu to international cricket following a successful Test series against West Indies, former Pakistan skipper Rashid Latif has admitted that it would be extremely difficult for the country’s cricket board to fill in the huge void left by the two retiring greats.

Pakistan on Sunday clinched a thrilling 101-run win in the third and final Test with six balls to spare to seal a first series victory in the West Indies, thus giving one of the most heart-stopping send-off possible to retiring Misbah and Younis.

Following the win, Latif insisted that the duo had contributed a lot to the country’s cricket and, therefore, it wouldn’t be easy to replace them. “It won’t be easy to fill the vacuum left after their retirement. Both have provided great services for Pakistan cricket,” Latif as saying.
