The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), on Tuesday, has stopped Younis Khan from playing in the domestic tournament ‘Pakistan Cup 2016’ and issued him a show cause notice, seeking his explanation within seven days, after he quit from a domestic cricket tournament.
However, Younis Khan on Tuesday has called Chairman PCB Shahryar Khan and apologized for his behavior and requested the Chairman for permission to join the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa team again for the remaining matches.
According to ESPN Cricinfo, Younis has been a great servant of Pakistan cricket and a true role model for youngsters," Shahryar Khan, the PCB chairman, said in a statement. "I feel pained making this decision as we have to demonstrate that no one is bigger than the game. We will wait for Younis to respond before we proceed further in this matter."
The cricket board imposed a 50% penalty on Younis match fees and a show cause notice was also issued against him, which required an ‘explanation’ from the veteran to the board in seven days time.
Earlier, Younis had questioned the umpires' decisions in the Pakistan Cup match between Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab teams. The umpires reported this matter to the Match Referee who charged Younis under level-II of the code of conduct for players and player support personnel and fined 50% of Younis' match fee.
