She then asks the former cricketer to sing a bit more for the viewers.
At this, Younis starts singing the national song with a giggle. Though Younis crooned just a single line from the song, it was enough to exhibit the amazing singing talent he has.
The entire Pakistan cricket squad, currently participating in the ongoing home Test series against Australia, celebrated Pakistan Day ahead of the resumption of the third Test on day three in Lahore this morning.
