Younus Khan was recently involved in a war of words with the PCB officials.
Pakistan's national selection committee is reportedly keen on including veteran batsman Younus Khan in the Test squad against Australia, despite his recent outburst against the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
Younus had been angered at being dropped from the ODI squad against Australia and felt that he was not afforded a proper chance to make his comeback into limited-overs cricket.
The batsman played a single ODI against Sri Lanka before being forced to fly back due to the death of his nephew. Chief selector Moin Khan, who had stated that though the doors of ODI cricket are not closed on Younus, he does not feature in the selectors' plans for the 2015 World Cup, The Express Tribune reported.
The comments prompted the World T-20 winning captain to lament those suggestions publicly. Younus even went on to say that he should not be selected for the Test squad as well if selectors feel that youngsters are the way to go for Pakistan.
One of the selectors revealed that Younus is their premier batsman and would be selected for the Test series, adding that whatever happened is history, and they need to move forward now.
The selector said that the series against Australia was important and Younus would be key to Pakistan's chances in the two Tests.
Having played 91 Tests so far, the 36-year-old is closing in on the 100-Test landmark. He has scored 7610 Test runs at an impressive average of 51.14, with 24 centuries and 28 half-centuries to his name.
The official said that apart from personal egos, they should think about Pakistan and move on.
He concluded by saying common sense prevails and that Younus does not turn down the chance of playing in Tests as well.
