Senior players want Younis sacked...


LAHORE: Three senior players of the national team have demanded from Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ijaz Butt to sack Younis Khan. Sources said on Tuesday that the captain after getting out in the third one-day international against New Zealand in Abu Dhabi on Monday had a fight with senior players and some of the officials in the dressing room. The sources added that Younis’ differences with his deputy Shahid Afridi, former captain Shoaib Malik and experienced all-rounder Abdul Razzaq were evident and the absence of star batsman Mohammad Yousuf from the series decider further lent strength to the case. “The senior players are not happy with Younis’ attitude and how he shuffles the batting order to cover his own shortcomings,” sources said. “The chairman has promised to summon a board meeting as soon as possible for further investigation into this matter,” sources maintained.
