Pakistan appointed Mohammad Yousuf as the captain for the Test tour of New Zealand after Younis Khan asked for a rest following the one-day series defeat against the same country.

 

"Yes, Younus has asked for a rest so we have appointed Yousuf as captain for the three-Test tour" said PCB chairman Ijaz Butt.

 

Pakistan lost the three-match series 2-1 after a narrow seven-run defeat in the final match on Monday.
