Perhaps most significantly, of the 32 matches he played for Pakistan A (nine long-form and 23 one-dayers), he would captain the team in 27 of them.

Unable to get the team he wanted, Younis did what Younis does - he refused to compromise, and resigned. It was obvious that Misbah's time was running out.
