Karachi, Sep 4 - Pakistan captain Younis Khan is in the process of forming a players' association for national cricketers and is in touch with the Federation of International Cricketers Association (FICA).

Younis said in an interview Friday that he met FICA chief Tim May in London during the World Twenty20 championship in June to seek details about the formation of players' association.

The skipper said he has exchanged several emails with May over the last few weeks, adding that the formation of a Pakistani players' association is now very much in the pipeline.

Younis disclosed that he has discussed the issue with current and former players in Pakistan and plans to meet Pakistan Cricket Board

officials.

He made it clear that the association is not being formed as a rival to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
