Khan led Pakistan to the 2009 World Twenty20 title as well as the Champions Trophy semifinal later that year, but resigned after the home series against New Zealand in the UAE, claiming he was not getting support from his team members.
Since then, he has declined offers to lead the side, telling the authorities that he wanted to focus on his batting.
Sources close to Khan said he is not interested in the captaincy anymore, despite his public announcement.
“He is a sensitive soul and after what happened in 2009 and the way some players went against him, he has definitely ruled out taking on the responsibility of leading the team again,” a source said.
Although his future as captain remains uncertain, Khan who has played 76 Tests, made it clear that he had no intention of retiring from the game soon.
“I plan to touch the 100 Test mark before I think of retiring,” he said
