Khan himself will pick two lucky winners based on what he thinks are the most attention-grabbing photos or videos on social media.

The winners will then be notified about their prize and be invited for a one-on-one batting session with Younis on the main pitch at Zayed Cricket Stadium, all during the two T20 matches between Pakistan and Sri Lanka on October 26 and 27.

Khan had an international career with Pakistan spanning 17 years, securing his debut in 2000. He went on to become Pakistan’s top all-time run-scorer with a final tally of 10,099, with an average innings of 52.05 and 34 Test hundreds.

He was particularly prodigious in Abu Dhabi, scoring freely at Zayed Cricket Stadium. He hit several centuries in Abu Dhabi but one that stands out was his memorable 213-run first innings against Australia in 2014, which ensured Pakistan won the Test series 2-0.

Commenting on the upcoming competition, Khan said: “I played one of the most memorable inn-ings of my life in Abu Dhabi when I surpassed Mr Javid Miandad and became Pakistan’s number one Test scorer. It’s exciting to be back and see all the changes taken place, particularly at Abu Dhabi Cricket. Zay-ed Cricket Stadium is a world class venue with a fantastic atmosphere.”

Abu Dhabi Cricket will play host to Pakistan and Sri Lanka for two ODIs on October 16 and October 18, as well as two Twenty20s on October 26 and October 27. For further information and for ticket sales visit www.abudhabicricket.ae.
