Younis recovers from dengue for next Test

Pakistan veteran Younis Khan has recovered from dengue fever and has been named in the second Test squad to face the West Indies in the UAE.

Younis Khan has recovered from dengue fever and has been added to Pakistan's squad for the second Test against the West Indies in the United Arab Emirates.

The 38-year-old Younis missed the first day-night Test in Dubai after doctors advised extended rest to fully recover from the illness.

He was admitted to a hospital in Karachi last month with a high fever, which was later diagnosed as dengue.

Younis has been Pakistan's leading scorer in Test matches. He has 9,456 runs in 108 matches, an average of 53.72.

The second Test will be played in Abu Dhabi starting on Friday, followed by the third and final Test in Sharjah from October 30-November 3.

Pakistan:

Misbah-ul-Haq (captain), Sami Aslam, Azhar Ali, Younis Khan, Asad Shafiq, Babar Azam, Sarfraz Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz, Yasir Shah, Zulfiqar Baber, Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz, Sohail Khan, Imran Khan Sr., Rahat Ali.
