Why did Younis Khan retire ?

Ijaz Butt pukes this :

“There is no need to appoint a new captain for T20 cricket, this job will also be done by Younis. I am confident I can get him around and he will lead the side in all forms of the game,”

Younis Khan reconfirms :

“I didn’t take a hasty decision I thought about it and I think I have done the right thing.”

So who is right ? Butt or Younis ?

Are we supposed to take this seriously ? Can this world cup win change some things in Pakistan cricket ? And Younis Khan isnt that old not to play T20 cricket. He says he is 34 (read in some media) and cricinfo profile suggests he is not even 32. When Murali can play in 36, then Younis is too junior than Murali to retire :).

So age is not an issue for Younis retirement and neither is his batting form. Figures suggest the same thing.

Its just his plain disinterest in the format which is keeping him away from the T20 format. His step to terminate IPL contract last year also suggests that he is more of a ODI or Test man. Welcome signs though. He is doing the other way around. At least for now. But then didnt Imran Khan, Javed Miandad, Shahid Afridi,Abdul Razzaq, MoYo and others retire and returned back ?

And does Pakistan need Shoaib Akhtar anymore now ? Or for that matter Mohd Asif anymore ?
