Comments from Younis Khan while speaking at an event recently:
"In terms of money, PCB owe me 4-6 crore rupees if you look back. But I have never demanded money, money is never an issue. It's destiny from Allah, you get what is destined for you so you should never run after money, I never ran after money.
"I have always been willing to work with PCB. I was one of the few players who retired and left, players rarely do that. I have 17-18 years of services for Pakistan and PCB.
"What happens that we can't come on board together, I don't even know. I played cricket so I want to help in the field of cricket. Why we don't come on board, perhaps PCB doesn't change or Younis Khan doesn't change.
"I don't think anyone in Pakistan would be so personal that he wouldn't want to work with Younis Khan. Even if I was a big critic of Younis Khan, I would like to still work with Younis Khan. What things are there with my demeanour or what is it with PCB that doesn't allow us to come on one page?
(Misbah) "Whenever we start a new thing specially in a country like Pakistan, we find it awkward. I hope the result is good. Pakistan team is coming on track, give Misbah-ul-Haq, PCB and Imran Khan some time and many things will change.
(Malik, Hafeez) "Even in our time, people would say that there shouldn't be seniors in the team, etc. I think that those players should be in the team who are fit and committed and wish to play for Pakistan, specially those who have services and match-winning performances.
(Babar) "Good decision to have a young captain for T20 format who is also a stay player. He has a chance to take his performances even higher and change Pakistan cricket.
"We talk about cricket coming back, since 3-4 we have cricket on and off. I believe that we should have these tours properly. Despite security concerns, etc., it's important to have big crowds and filled grounds where people are facilitated. It's not just that we should have the match, it will look bad if there is no crowd. Also, people living in the vicinity of grounds shouldn't be disturbed."
