Earlier, Shahryar Khan, the PCB boss contacted Younis Khan and discussed the issue.
Younis was ‘sorry’ over his gesture, and showed willingness to return to Faisalabad where Pakistan Cup tournament is being played.
Shahryar stated that Younis has right to be angry, but leaving the tournament in the middle was not a wise decision.
“PCB wants to keep senior players together, you’re adviser to PCB chief, you shouldn’t have left the tournament in the middle,” said PCB chief to Younis.
He further urged Younis to fly back to Faisalabad and join the team for upcoming matches.
Younis had a run-in first with the umpires over some decision and than the match referee, Aziz ur Rehman who summoned him for a disciplinary hearing and when the senior player didn’t show up, fined him a maximum of 100 per cent of his match fees.
The incidents involving Younis and the umpires and match referee took place over the space of two matches that involved the Khyber Pakhtunkhawa team which Younis led in the tournament being organised by the Pakistan Cricket Board in Faisalabad.
“The PCB Chairman, Shaharyar Khan has taken serious notice of the incidents involving Younis and has summoned a report from the match referee,” a source in the PCB told PTI.
