Former Pakistan captain Younus Khan has reportedly declined signing the new central contract that sees him demoted to the B category.

An official close to Khan said that the veteran cricketer is really angry and disappointed about being demoted to B category and has decided not to sign it.

According to The Express Tribune, the official added that for Khan the most important thing is his self-respect and that he is willing to play for Pakistan without getting remuneration from the central contracts.

Meanwhile, a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) official said that the chairman Najam Sethi had warned the committee that their decision would backfire, adding that despite the warning Moin Khan, Mohammad Akram and Zakir all stressed that it was the right move according to the new categorization formula.
