Q - Where's home for you now and what association do you have with cricket?a - I'm in Sydney, I live there now and I do a great deal of show employments.
Q - You eclipsed your accomplice Wasim Akram that day, would you say you are two nearby, there were gossipy tidbits about a dropping out?
A - We don't generally see one another in light of the fact that I live in Australia and he works for an alternate TV station. In any case when we do see one another, we love that time. Also when you live together for such a large number of years, you're sure to have a few issues, however that is all sorted.
Q - Career highlights?
A - Winning against England in a few arrangement is up there. The [2-1] arrangement win in 1992 was one of the top arrangement I played in. That truly sticks out. A few arrangement in Pakistan were fabulous too, against the Aussies, winning against them was splendid.
* Then 20, Younis was the heading wicket taker with 22 scalps in the '92 arrangement against England.
Q - You took 373 Test wickets and 416 ODI scalps (third ever), do you have some most loved victimized people?
A - In our period I thought there were several decent batsmen like Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, Steve Waugh, (Matthew) Hayden, (Adam) Gilchrist. For me, in the event that I need to pick one, I'd say Brian Lara was the highest priority on the schedule. I got him a couple times, yet he got me a couple times as well.
Q - Who's a finer bowler, Dale Steyn or James Anderson?
A - I'll most likely say, on the grounds that I've worked with Steyn barely as of late in the IPL, I think he may be a large portion of a venture in front of Anderson. Anderson hasn't generally ended up being the best in the sub-mainland and Steyn has finished truly well in the sub-landmass truly as of late. Steyn for me, however probably, both of them are class, they're an alternate class.
Q - Which different speedsters do you like?
A - I used to like (Shane) Bond, he was really great in his time. Else, we've got a couple that are going great in Pakistan, Mohammad Irfan, the tall fella, a seven-footer, he might be extremely convenient on his day. Ishant Sharma too, he's great, there are a couple around. It's great, there are dependably a couple around, in any time.
Q - Any most loved Pakistan-New Zealand cricket minute?
A - I played in a couple of great arrangement, be that as it may, despite the fact that I didn't play in it, the ICC Cricket World Cup 1992 was really extraordinary, beating New Zealand twice to make the last.
Q - You do understand that made Pakistan the baddies for a considerable measure of New Zealand cricket fans?
A - Yes, they were truly the baddies, yet it was a matter of structure I think. Pakistan hit structure at the correct time. We began the competition pretty inadequately, however as the diversions began advancing, we began playing admirably. We beat Australia, beat the West Indies then beat New Zealand. We crested at the correct time which is enter in any competition.
Q - It's still year and a half away, yet who do you like for the competition here, can Pakistan rehash its 1992 triumph?
A - If Mohammad Irfan stays fit, in light of the fact that he's so enormous it will be difficult to keep him on the recreation center and Pakistan Cricket must be watchful with him. Anyway in the event that he stays fit on these bouncy pitches he'll be, exceptionally helpful. However Steyn and Anderson could have huge influence for their nations as well. Each nation will be focusing on it clearly and advancing prepared, its going to be an incredible competition.
