Younus Khan today quit captaincy of the Pakistan cricket team after being grilled by the National Assembly Standing Committee on Sports, on the team's performance in the recent Champions Trophy. The standing committee had asked Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ejaz Butt, Younus, Coach Intikhab Alam and manager Yawar Saeed to explain their defeat against Australia and New Zealand in the Champions Trophy. It was not immediately known whether the Pakistan Cricket Board has accepted his resignation. Television reports said that PCB has rejected his resignation.The hostile parliamentarians raised a number of questions on the team's performance in those two matches in the backdrop of allegations that the cricketers tanked those games. The 31-year-old Younus, who had led Pakistan to Twenty20 World Cup triumph earlier this year, faced harsh criticism after the team crashed out in the semifinal of the Champions Trophy. A provincial Sports Minister, who happens to be a PCB Governing Council member, raised match-fixing allegations, while others sniffed an Indian conspiracy behind Pakistan's early ouster from the tournament in South Africa.
