"If any offer is made to me to captain the national team again, I will definitely think about it and discuss it with the people I trust," said Younis.

"Leading the national team has been an honour and if the board has any offer I will consider it," he added.

Younis though clarified that he didn't want to give an impression that he was after the Pakistan captaincy.

The 34-year-old cricketer also made it clear that he had no issues playing under any other captain as he continued to enjoy his game.

Younis, who led Pakistan to the 2009 World Twenty20 title as well as the Champions Trophy semifinal later that year, resigned from the captaincy after the home series against New Zealand in the UAE the same year, claiming he was not getting support from his team members.

Since then, he has declined offers to lead the side, telling the authorities that he wanted to focus on his batting.

Sources close to Younis said that despite him saying publicly that he may consider leading the team again, he is not interested in the captaincy anymore.
