What a big ole mess...But if the following are Younis' reasons, then I am behind him 100%. Perhaps not with the way he went about it, but the reason behind his action...

From cnn..
"Ironically, Yousuf, who along with Younis has been Pakistan's most dependable batsman in recent times, is said to be one of the players who did not support Younis to lead the side in the absence of Inzamam.

Sources close to Younis confirmed that Razzaq and Shahid Afridi were among a small group of players who did not want Younis as the future captain.

"Younis knows about this and he took his decision because he does not want to lead a disoriented and disunited outfit in such an important tournament," one source disclosed.

Seeing as I don't always trust the media (as I have personal experience on how WRONG they can be), I don't know how much truth in the above...But like I said. If these are Younis' reasons...
