ISLAMABAD – Former Pakistani Skipper Younis Khan makes Rs 6 crore claimagainst Pakistan Cricket Board.
Pakistan’s legendary batsman Younis Khan has made a stunning claim that thePakistan Cricket Board (PCB) still owes him Rs. 60 million.
During an interactive session with media representatives, Younis was askedabout declining the opportunity to coach Pakistan under-19 cricket team.
One media person cited the example of Misbah-ul-Haq and said that he notonly is the head coach and chief selector of Pakistan’s national team, buthe also coaches Islamabad United. Was it because of money offered by thePCB that you, despite being determined to coach the under-19s, declined theopportunity?

I never had the greed of money during my playing career. Instead, the PCBowes me Rs. 60 million in arrears from my time in the team. I am among thehandful of cricketers who announced their retirements while in the team.
