Pakistan skipper Younis Khan who was nursing his fracture will be back to the team when they face India on Saturday. Younis suffered a minor hairline fracture on the little finger of his right hand during the warm-up game against the Warriors in Benoni on September 20 and had been advised rest by doctors.

Younis did not play their opening match against West Indies on Wednesday which was won under the captaincy of Shahid Afridi. Younis could have been available for Pakistan’s opening Champions Trophy game but the team management decided against taking a risk so that he could be fully fit to play India in Centurion.

India has got a major setback with Yuvraj being out with injury for six weeks. He is replaced by Virat Kohli. Yuvraj’s absence is likely to bring in alterations in the batting line up.
