Where did you live while playing for Yorkshire? (from Shehzad Khan)
Leeds.
I'm a 16-year-old and there was program on NDTV "Younis Ki Cover Drive' and from that program title I started to play on the off-side with cover drives and I'm big fan of you and hope I will take your position in the national team in future (not now, when you retire - I hope you don't mind) (from Asmirza)
I will pray for you.
Younis I like the way you bat and your style. How do you rate the great Brian Lara before he retired? When are you playing your next match in Barbados? (from Sajid)
Lara is the best entertaining batsman of the modern age, he’s there at the top. As for Barbados on Pakistan’s next tour maybe in two years. I will be old by then!
Why did you not want to be Pakistan captain. In my opinion that is the greatest honour for a cricketer. (from Imran, Middlesbrough, UK)
I have explained this before many times.
Do you feel any regret that you didn't play for Pakistan and decided to go to Yorkshire? Don't you feel it was an insult to the Pakistan nation that you didn't accept captaincy and decided to opt out? (from Waleed)
Sri Lanka also had senior players resting in that event you are referring to and I wanted to give opportunities to younger players so please give credit to me for trying to look for new and talented players rather than come after me. As for captaincy this was a personal decision, nothing to do with an insult against Pakistan. I love my country and I have given a lot of commitment to Pakistan team. I have also not signed for ICL to play for Habib Bank and Pakistan.
Who is your favourite player in the India team? (from Kanwal, Delhi)
Dravid, I have learnt a lot from him through talking with him and watching him.
Would you like to bowl more in Pakistan games? (from Yousaf, Rawalpindi)
Yes why not, as I have taken a few wickets in county cricket but we are not short of spinners in the Pakistan team.
Do you fast during a match? (from Abdullah)
Yes I do fast during a match. Bob Woolmer didn't used to like it and was worried when I lost 5 or 6kg after fasting but Bob never had to tell me off because I always played well during fasting.
What did you think about Mohammed Yousuf being dropped from the T20 squad? (from Yousaf)
It’s a decision by the selectors and not for me to comment on.
Younis, I am your fan in U.S.A., a pukhtoon from Peshawar. You should have taken the captaincy as we all thought that you were the best captain available. But I also agree with you that we Pakistani fans don't treat our players well once you guys lose and also our cricket board, as usual, puts all the blame on the players. I want to thank you for being such a selfless performer for our country, this makes me feel more proud as a Pukhtoon. I would like to invite you to my place and meet you personally if you happen to visit U.S.A. (from Shahid, USA)

Thanks for your comments. If I am ever in USA I would love to visit you.
