Pakistan team manager Yawar Saeed has confirmed that the Pakistan Cricket Board had inquired about Younis' remarks about twenty20 not being real cricket.
Yawar told the Pakistani media in London that the board had sent an email to him regarding the comments made by Younis at the press conference following the defeat to England at the Oval.
"We have sent the reply. I don't think Younis has committed any breach of the players code of conduct with his remarks. Australian captain, Ricky Pointing has said similar things about Twenty20 cricket. These are personal views," Yawar said.
Younis had surprised many by stating that Twenty20 was like WWE wrestling -- just fun and entertainment for the crowds.
He said it would not be a disaster if Pakistan failed to qualify for the super eights stage which they eventually did after beating the Netherlands.
Yawar insisted Younis had not violated any code of the International Cricket Council with his remarks.
