Former Pakistan's all-rounder Azhar Mahmood has backed veteran batsman Younus Khan to play a crucial role in the team's one day side in the upcoming World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

Mahmood, who played 21 Tests and 143 one-day international, said that he would back Azhar all the way as his experience in Australia and New Zealand would be invaluable, PakPassion reported.

Mahmood added that the approach from the Pakistan top and middle order is to look to block and survive rather than to be proactive and put pressure on the fielding side.
