Pakistan cricket team captain Younis Khan resigned at the meeting of the National Assembly’s standing committee for sports here today.

He tendered his resignation amid heated discussion at the meeting after chairman standing committee Jamshed Dasti alleged the national team for match fixing.

However, chairman Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Ijaz Butt, who was also present at the meeting returned the resignation to Younis but the captain submitted it again to him after coming out of the Parliament House.

Chairman Pakistan Cricket Board Ijaz Butt, captain Younis Khan and coach Intikhab Alam appeared at the meeting on invitation from Jamshed Dasti for probing into Pakistan team’s defeat in the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy held recently in South Africa.
