Widely circulated British newspaper the Daily Telegraph has apologised to former Pakistan captain Younis Khan for associating him with players' agent and alleged bookmaker Mazhar MajeedYounis's lawyer Abdul Qayyum said the Daily Telegraph has published an apology regretting it story linking Younis with Mazhar.
"The newspaper had claimed that Mazhar Majeed was also Younis's agent at one time and we took exception to that as Mazhar has never been my client's agent," Qayyum said.
He said immediately after the publication of the report, he had sent a notice to the newspaper asking them to publish a retraction and apology or face legal proceedings.
"The newspaper has accepted its mistake and posted a note on its website which is acceptable to us," Qayyum said.
Younis made a comeback to the national team for the South Africa series after remaining on the sidelines for the last eight months.
The lawyer, who represented Younis in his appeal against the ban imposed on him by the Pakistan cricket Board, said Younis was glad and the issue is now a closed chapter.
