Very sad for his loss.

As much as he may irritate me at times,the man is a fighter,and as cricinfo puts it,is true to his pathan ancestry.

WAG.

Sad to hear that his brother passed away إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ

He is one of the nicest cricketers in the world today, and is always positive. What a great servant to Pakistani cricket despite the controversies that have been going on.

Poor bloke.

I remember when he came down to South Australia one season to play for the Redbacks. Scored two first class tons and did really well. Younis seemed to love Adelaide and from what I've heard, was very well liked within the team. Not suprising as he is considered one of the nicest blokes in world cricket.

I got his autograph one game at the SCG to . Also, had an epic convo with Greg Blewett that same day .

Always liked the guy and the way he plays. Fights, counter attacks and smiles his way through games while scoring lots of runs. Hard to imagine a better way of playing the game.

Very sad to hear of his multiple personal tragedies.
