Losing a player like Younis Khan has made his many fans upset and young cricket fans are disappointed at the way Younis has been treated by the authorities. They want Younis back and the fact that he resigned without hesitation is being appreciated as a worthy decision, one that proves his innocence and reflects the antipathy of the concerned officials towards him. Pakistani cricket is already on a decline and losing good players like Younis Khan is another setback to the country’s most popular sport. At the same time, a point of concern is the attempt of political involvement to use cricket affairs for their ulterior aims. MQM leader Altaf Husasin’s statement that they will hold countrywide protests in case Younis Khan’s resignation is accepted is such an example. The country’s politicians need to stay out of sports since their involvement will further exacerbate the declining state of healthy sports in the country.
