Younis Khan’s children happy at father’s retirement

Veteran batsman and Pakistan's highest run-scorer in Test cricket Younis Khan announced his retirement from international cricket on Saturday.

While cricket fans are busy paying rich tributes to Younis, his children seem exited at the idea of getting to spend more time with their father.

“We are happy father will spend more time at home. We will listen to stories,” said the cricketer’s daughter Ammara.

Son Awais Khan is glad he will get to watch cartoons and play games with his father.

Younis said he had been under a lot of pressure from friends and family not to retire, but that he thought it was the best moment in his life to make that decision.

"I was under a lot of pressure, getting calls from everyone. I think this is the right time as every sportsman has to take this decision in his career."
