Ever wanted to know why veteran batsman Younis Khan quit Pakistan's T20 captaincy?
Younis said he resigned after Pakistan won the T20 World Cup in 2011 because he felt the format was purely for youngsters.
"I still believe this cricket is for youngsters and you can see that in other cricket nations as well."
Asked whether his decision to quit T20 cricket had something to do with his first stint in the Indian Premier League with Rajasthan Royals, Younis said that was also a major reason.
"Yes, it is true I was not happy when I got to play just one match for the Rajasthan team in the IPL. I don’t know what were the reasons for captain Shane Warne to not play me. But I felt offended that even though we had qualified for the knock-out stage with a few matches remaining in the league stage they still gave me just one match.
"But, to be honest, after looking at the environment in the first IPL I don’t think I would have been able to adjust there as well myself," he said.
Younis insisted that the IPL is good for cricket despite all the spot-fixing revelations attached to it in recent times.
"Look where there is big money there will always be scandals. This is life. The element of greed is always present. But it is good for the players as they are earning well and it is good entertainment for the people as well."
