Lahore, Oct 16(ANI): Former Pakistan captain Younus Khan wants to meet Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ijaz Butt to resolve their outstanding disputes, his lawyer Ahmed Qayyum has said.
Qayyum confirmed that Younus has sent a letter to the board asking them to give time for a meeting.
"Younus is keen to resolve this issue. So, he has sent in writing he is available for a meeting.
Now it is up to the board when they call him for the meeting. From day one of this problem my client has been keen to resolve this problem," the Daily Times quoted Qayyum, as saying.
Younus along with Mohammad Yousuf was banned indefinitely from the team in March following an inquiry committee report, which had probed Pakistan's dismal performances and disciplinary problems during the tours of the United Arab Emirates, New Zealand and Australia.
Five other players - Shoaib Malik, Rana Navedul Hasan, Shahid Afridi, Kamran Akmal and Umar Akmal - were also banned or fined.
However, the appellate tribunal later lifted bans on Younus, Naved and Malik and halved the fines.
The other players had apologized to the board and accepted their mistakes, clearing the way for their return.
However, Younus has refused to do so, insisting through his lawyer that he had done nothing to apologize for and had instead maintained that he wanted to clear his name fully of the charges laid against him.
Earlier, the National Assembly Standing Committee on Sports had instructed the PCB to give a patient hearing to the cricketer within a span of seven days. (ANI)
