Younis Khan has joined a growing list of Pakistan absentees as its bumbling cricket tour of Australia continues to find trouble ahead of today's crunch game against the West Indies.

The Pakistanis should be brimming with confidence following a breakthrough three-wicket win over Australia at the WACA on Sunday night.

It came after three straight losses in the one-day competition, while Pakistan also suffered a 3-0 Test series whitewash against Australia during its stay.

The winner of today's match in Perth will qualify to meet Australia in the tri-series final, starting in Melbourne on Friday.

But the death of Younis' father on Sunday night soured the victory for Pakistan, with the batsman immediately heading home following his dismissal.

Pace spearheads Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Sami are already absent through injury, adding to a long list of woes for the tourists.
