Former Pakistan skipper Younis Khan has opened up on the 2009 players revolt against him, which according to him had its roots in captaincy ambitions of seniors.

Younis told a local media channel if the players had problems with me they could have spoken to me. They claimed that they didn't want me removed as captain but just wanted the cricket board to speak to me to change my attitude. He claimed that the players met with the then PCB Chairman, Ejaz Butt and one senior player, apparently Shahid Afridi demanded the captain be changed.

Younis added that he had spent the last four years of his career remaining in his room all the time and just focussing on his cricket.
