KARACHI: Younis Khan has broken yet another record of the great Javed Miandad to become Pakistan's leading player in spending the most time on crease in tests on Saturday.

After spending 52 and 194 minutes in Abu Dhabi Test respectively, his career time on wicket is now 23,686 minutes, surpassing Miandad’s record of 23,568 minutes.
