Younus Khan has tendered his resignation as Pakistan captain despite being cleared of match-fixing charges by a parliamentary sports committee.



He submitted his resignation to the Pakistan Cricket Board - who is yet to accept it.



The 31-year-old says he was disgusted by match-fixing allegations made against him and the team.



Younus attended a hearing today to discuss Pakistan\'s performance in the recent ICC Champions Trophy in South Africa



National Assembly committee chairman Jamshed Dasti had alleged that Pakistan deliberately under-performed during the competition - although he later insisted that the committee never intended to make match-fixing allegations against the players
