Pakistan legend Khan responds to kid's letter with video masterclass

Felix Anderson was 10 when he wrote to Younis Khan in 2016, telling the legendary Pakistani batsman that he was one of his heroes, praising his "beautiful" and "excellent" slip-catching skills

It might have taken two years, but a young New Zealander has received a reply from his hero.

Felix Anderson was 10 when he wrote to Younis Khan in 2016, telling the legendary Pakistani batsman that he was one of his heroes, praising his "beautiful" and "excellent" slip-catching skills.

The note got lost but resurfaced this month and Khan was quick to make sure that little Felix got the reponse he deserved.

As promised, here is the coaching tip manual on the cover drive and cut shot for the 12 year old Felix from New Zealand who wrote a letter to me. I hope you enjoy this, practice it & improve your game. All the best Felix. Hope to see you playing for your country one day 😊 pic.twitter.com/lnzP2yz9gT

Having been asked to offer some advice on his cut or cover drive, the former Pakistan skipper did just that in a personalised video, which he then shared on social media.

"As promised, here is the coaching tip manual on the cover drive and cut shot. I hope you enjoy this, practice it and improve your game," he wrote.

"All the best Felix. Hope to see you playing for your country one day."

FELIX ANDERSON'S FULL LETTER TO YOUNIS KHAN

Dear Mr Khan,

My name is Felix. I'm ten years old and live in New Zealand. I'm writing to you because you are one of my biggest heroes. Your technique is beautiful to watch; how perfect your cover drive is; or how well your cut is timed. Your 313 against Sri Lanka was incredible to watch, it showed me how much I want to be a professional cricketer and bat 3rd. Also, this year against England your 218 was spectacular. You're an excellent slip fielder and a very reliable batsman. Can you please give me some advice on the cut shot, or the cover drive? Good luck in your upcoming matches and have a happy new year.

Kind regards,

Felix Anderson
