Younis, Butt meet over captaincy rethink
The PCB released a short statement saying that a "detailed discussion was held" between the two, the details of which will be announced in the next few days
Younis Khan and Ijaz Butt, the PCB chairman, have held a meeting in Lahore on Thursday to decide over the former's return as captain of Pakistan. The PCB released a short statement saying that a "detailed discussion was held" between the two, the details of which will be announced in the next few days.
Unconfirmed reports in the local media suggested that Younis presented to Butt a list of conditions under which he would reconsider taking up the lead role again. Chief among them was a required confirmation that he would remain ODI captain till the 2011 World Cup. There were also suggestions that Younis was unhappy with certain members of the team management and sought personnel changes.
Younis handed in his resignation as captain earlier this week, at a National Assembly committee hearing looking into allegations of match-fixing, after Pakistan's semi-final loss to New Zealand in the ICC Champions Trophy. Butt, however, refused to accept the resignation and has remained hopeful that he can get Younis to change his mind.
