The Pakistan Cricket Board, PCB, has rejected captain Younus Khan’s resignation, insisting that the 31-year-old will stay on until the 2011 World Cup.
Younus has quit as skipper in protest last week after appearing in front of a Pakistan parliamentary committee following match-fixing allegations.
But PCB chairman Ijaz Butt says Khan is definitely the captain until the 2011 World Cup provided he remains fit.
Khan angrily quit as captain after Jamshed Dasti, the chief of the National Assembly standing committee on sports, alleged that Pakistan deliberately under-performed at the Champions Trophy in South Africa last month.
