Senior Pakistan batsman Younis Khan believes India have made a mistake by omitting former captain Rahul Dravid for their first two one-day internationals.
Pakistan travel to India on Thursday for five one-day internationals and three tests.
8220;Dravid has led from the front and he is a fantastic player,8221; Younis said on Wednesday.
8220;If India doesn8217;t perform well in the first two games the blame game will start, and their selectors and team will come under more pressure. It is to our advantage.8221;
Younis, tipped to be named vice captain for the Indian tour, said the series would be a defining one for the younger players and those still establishing themselves in the team.
8220;The pressure is very high playing in India. People have a lot of expectations from you and the media attention and hype is also great,8221; he said.
8220;It is a make or break tour for players.8221;
