Younis quits as a Captain, says he's lost command!

Younis Khan has given up the captaincy of Pakistan once again, and taken a temporary break from the game altogether, after failing to overcome a long-running rift with a group of players. Effectively, after Younis informed the Pakistan board chairman Ijaz Butt of his decision, it signaled a victory for player power over an unpopular captain.
says Younis.

At least eight or nine players in the current squad have been unhappy with Younis as captain for a while and had made their concerns clear to Butt immediately after the Champions Trophy. The loss to New Zealand in the three-match ODI series, in which Younis failed with the bat, cranked up the pressure, with a number of voices in Pakistan calling for his ouster. Today Younis decided that he had lost "command" over the team and carrying on was not an option.

The PCB immediately named Mohd. Yousuf, senior batsman and one-time stand-in captain, as the man to lead the side in a three-Test series in New Zealand beginning later this month. Kamran Akmal, the wicketkeeper, will be his deputy.

The PCB's no-frills press release stated simply that Younis had asked for a rest and Butt is reported to have said that they did not object to the decision. "We did appoint Younis captain until the 2011 World Cup, subject to his performance and fitness, but we have no objection to him asking for a rest, and I don't think it's turmoil in Pakistan cricket," he said.

Yousuf can be a good captain? I doubt And also for vice captain, Misbah-ul-Haq should have been appointed rather than K.Akmal.

isnt just Misbah-ul-Haq out of every form of cricket of Pakistan cricket

How many times is he going to resign.
And if there were differences in the squad, why was he appointed the captain for the Kiwi series anyway? What possibly has changed within the course of ust 3 ODI's (and that too when Pakistan won the first one comprehensively )

What I feel is that whole team is involved in taking the captaincy from Younis....Maybe Younis was creating some problems with his attitude and players weren't settling with him Same happen after 1992's W'Cup Imran Khan was was forced to resign as a captain as the whole team went against him and his attitude and ultimately he retired...It seems similar case
