Former Pakistan manager denies masterminding plot against Younis |
Former Pakistan cricket team manager
Yawar Saeed has denied reports that he had tried to oust Younis Khan as the skipper
and bring in Shahid Afridi in his place. "This is a totally wrong impression that
I was trying to get Afridi appointed as captain after the ICC Champions Trophy,"
The Daily Times quoted Saeed, as saying. "Younis is respected as captain and gets
along well with the other players," he added. Saeed also dismissed reports that
his failure to achieve his campaign had eventually cost him his job. "The fact
is that I had informed Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ijaz Butt after the
Sri Lanka tour that I would not be able to continue as manager due to domestic
commitments," he added. Younis briefly quit captaincy after he was accused of
match-fixing in the Champions Trophy semi-final against New Zealand. He was reinstated
as the captain after the Pakistan Cricket Board bowed to his demand of making
him skipper of the side till the World Cup 2011. |
