Experts have blamed lack of unity in the Pakistan team for its poor showing in Sri Lanka, with some critics even claiming that a few senior players like former captain Shoaib Malik and vice-captain Misbah-ul-Haq are intentionally under-performing to cause Younis' downfall.

Some critics have also fired Younis over his inability to gel the team together and have said that the captain currently stands isolated.

Younis, however, rejected such claims and said that he has an excellent rapport with all his players, including the seniors.

The skipper also laughed off suggestions that because of his temperamental nature, he has failed to develop proper relationship with the players.

'I'm not a mad man. I don't go out fighting with everyone,' he said. 'I have a perfectly fine relationship with the players.'
