Younus and PCB deadlocked over captaincy
KARACHI - Younus Khan and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) failed to reach agreement on Thursday over his decision to resign as captain.
Younus quit on Tuesday in protest at match-fixing allegations against the team and he met with PCB chairman Ejaz Butt to discuss the situation.
Sources close to Younus said he had told Butt he would only withdraw his resignation if certain conditions were accepted by the board.
"Younus has made his position clear and the ball is now in the court of the PCB," a source said.
Younus submitted his resignation to the PCB chief during a hearing of the National Assembly standing committee on sports.
The hearing was convened after committee chairman Jamshed Dasti told television channels he would investigate reports that Pakistan had deliberately under-performed against Australia and New Zealand in the Champions Trophy.
But sources said there were other issues behind Younus's decision to resign, including his relationship with team mates.
