"I won't die and I won't be 70-year-old in four-five months, if they don't let me play with dignity then so be it. They have hurt me, they have hurt me when they said that players like me have no future. Then who has a future? So a player like me should shoot himself? When they are 35, 36, players like me wake up at seven 'o' clock, show commitment, I can do only this. Instead shoot ourselves, don't play cricket at all, don't play domestic cricket at all? I will wait for 4-5 months. They are saying that I don't have a future, I will wait, I am not retiring, I will wait, may this team go ahead, if they make the team [strong] I won't come back."

Pakistan authorities are a bunch of misfits trying to fit in a modern world.
Younis can make the ODI team on merit, what he alleged is correct. There is no rationale in Pakistani thinking- friendship, cut throat, caste, ethnic background, bribery, and pure ineptness defines Pakistan cricket.
Yet, they have managed to produce world class cricketers.
I feel for Younis and I know for sure that Shahid Afridi is going to support him

I am not going to take this sitting down, as I write this I am organizing a group of Pakistani Americans to lobby hard to remove Moin as a selector- he was a useful glove-man and lower order biffer, but he is a proven disaster in selection matters and he has a history of causing trouble in his playing days- he is known as a mischief maker, the 2 W's will testify to his cruel ways

When Ganguly was crying all over the place and going to the pandit for help to get back into the indian team...was he immature?
Didn't Bhajji make noise too when he was ignored by the Injun selectors
Younis Khan is still the best Pak batsman...by far...and he is fit and willing to play.
It is the same way they pushed out Mohammad Yousuf at his peak.

I just hate it when proven international stars are pushed out and discarded before they are ready...and because they are perceived to be 'too old'...whether it is a west Indian or other
These guys would have entertained us for years....and played their hearts out for their country...and at some whim and fancy of some idiotic selectors they are just discarded....career destroyed...and humiliated.

Nah, this is a done deal, the Pakistani American fans are crazy ass peeps and Younis is well liked by them. They have already started the lobbying.

Why should we believe you? For you know, you're probably bluffing your head off, like before
And wasn't the Chanders case also a done deal?

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman, Shaharyar Khan said senior Pakistan batsman Younis Khan should show "some maturity", but ruled out any disciplinary action against him for his outburst against the board and selectors.
"I am a bit disappointed at the way Younis has reacted to being dropped from the ODI squad, as he is a very senior player and we have lot of respect for him," Khan told Urdu daily Express.
Younis lashed out after being dropped for the ODI series against Australia. He asked if a 36-year-old couldn't be in the future plans of the national selectors, if he should shoot himself. He also offered to step aside from the Test side, challenging the selectors to build a new team in five-six months' time.
"Such statements are not worthy coming from Younis, given his stature. We have sent him a letter asking him to be careful in future and we expect him to understand the situation which does no good for the image of Pakistan cricket," Khan said.
"But we have no intentions to take any disciplinary action against him and we hope he will settle down now. I have plans to meet him in future so that I can hear him out and see what grievances he has, but for the moment the selectors have finalised the team for the ODI series against Australia," he added.
The PCB chief dismissed reports that Younis had been sidelined from the ODI side because of the incident in 2006 when he refused to lead the Pakistan team in the Champions Trophy in India after a tiff with Shaharyar Khan, who was the then chairman, over a minor issue.
"That incident has nothing to do with the team selection and after that happened myself and Younis sorted out things and it was over. There is no question of Younis not being treated with respect, he deserves it given his services to Pakistan cricket."

Pakistan's Twenty20 captain Shahid Afridi said the team's senior cricketers should be given dignified farewells, after veteran batsman Younis Khan was unceremoniously axed from the one-day squad
"I request the PCB chairman to talk to Younis and make a plan for the future," he told reporters. "I think all the seniors should be given a respectful way to retire."
Former Pakistan greats like Waqar Younis, Javed Miandad and Mohammed Yousuf were forced into humiliating exits despite years of service.
