Karachi: Australian captain Michael Clarke and Sri Lankan great Kumar Sangakkara may have bid adieu to international cricket but Pakistan veteran Younis Khan has no such plans as he dreams of becoming the first Pakistani to score 10,000 Test runs.

Younis is 1186 runs short of the 10,000-mark in Tests. "It has always been my desire to do something special for Pakistan cricket and scoring 10,000 runs in Test cricket is my dream now," Younis, who will turn 38 in November, said. Clarke announced his retirement after the Ashes series at the age of 34, having scored 8643 runs in 115 Tests at an average of 49.10, while Sangakkara, who turns 38 in October, retired recently after scoring 12,400 runs in 134 Tests at a remarkable average of 57.40.
