Pakistan are at it again. The Pakistan Cricket Board appointed Younis Khan as the national team captain. He promptly said he didn't want to take up a "dummy" job and in stepped Mohammad Yousuf as the new skipper. In a sudden u-turn after a few days, Younis is back again as captain. And he's confident now that his teammate are with him.

 

My players are focused on playing good cricket in the Champions Trophy. Let bygones be bygones. I have already forgotten the incident because you cannot change what has happened. The issue has died down and I foresee no problems," said Younis in New Delhi. He also said the whole episode would not affect the morale of the team ahead of the Champions Trophy.

 

"It (Pakistan) is not a club team. We are playing international cricket. It should not be such a problem to rise above all these and perform," he said.
