Re: Younis Khan rejects Pakistan Captaincy (see post 101)
I did not detect any indecisiveness on Younis's part. He had always been very clear from day 1 that he did not want to be a dummy captain. If anything the PCB initially seemed reluctant to accept certain conditions (we don't know exactly what those conditions were but I think Younis had every right to demand to know the exact job description before accepting it) set by him only to change their minds and offer him full powers later but by then he had already made up his mind. The reaction in Pakistan post WC debacle seems also to have dissuaded him from accepting the job.
"I am still hurt and upset at the sort of hostile reception we have got since returning from the World Cup. I have always given 100 percent for my country. But when your family gets threatening calls and our effigies are burnt and our pictures put on donkeys, then I can't lead the team in such circumstances."
I think Younis is right. If people are going to start threatening your family everytime you lose as captain then it's not worth it. Your family should always come first.
