Karachi: Barely four months after quitting Twenty20, Pakistan captain Younis Khan said he might come out of his retirement to play the slam-bang format.
Younis, who announced his Twenty20 retirement after guiding Pakistan to the World Cup triumph in England in June, said he was giving it a thought and would come out of the retirement if he felt the urge to play this format.
"Yes. I have given it some thought," he said. Meanwhile, everything seems alright between Younis and Shahid Afridi, who was named the next Twenty20 captain with both claiming that there was no rift within the team.
After Younis briefly quit captaincy, a section of Pakistan cricket did not want him back and lobbied to get Afridi selected for the captain's post.
Pakistan Cricket Board, however, brought back Younis and made him captain till 2011 World Cup.
Afridi himself, however, claimed he had no issues with Younis.
"Believe me, they are no major rifts in the team at all. But like every team they are minor issues that be can resolved through proper communication levels," Afridi said.
He said nothing was more important then performing for the team and country.
"We are what we are because of Pakistan and the love and affection the people and fans give us and we need to pay them back properly," he said.
Younis also claimed he held no grudge against anyone in the team and he was not seeking revenge either.
"I get along well with everyone and returning as captain I feel there is greater responsibility on all of us to perform consistently well and give 100 percent for the team," Younis said.
Younis said he had resigned because of the pressures that came with the match-fixing allegations made by the Chairman of the National Assembly standing committee on sports Jamshed Dasti after the team lost in the Champions Trophy semi-final to New Zealand.
"It is very difficult for the players to go and appear before the standing committee because we are sportsmen and our job is to do well on the field," Younis added.
