Rana naved

Lahore, May 4: A number of senior players "deliberately under-performed" during Pakistan's 2009 ODI series against New Zealand in the UAE because they were unhappy with Younis Khan's captaincy, former pacer Rana Naved-ul-Hasan has alleged.

While speaking on a local news channel as quoted by cricketpakistan.com.pk, Naved said: "We lost two ODI matches against New Zealand in UAE during 2009 because some of the players involved deliberately did not play well, and I sat out that tour."
