Pakistan batsman Younus Khan has rejected allegations that he withdrew from the squad in protest at being investigated by the ICC's Anti-Corruption unit and has made himself available for the final match in Karachi.

He said he had a domestic matter to sort out and needed a break:

"Yes some things that happened recently were not to my liking and the way they happened but that was not the reason for me taking leave from the team," he said.

"I had to attend to a domestic issue and I also wanted to take a break from cricket.

"I am still very keen to play for my country. If anything this break has refreshed me and I am looking forward to the next game."

Pakistan lead the series 4-0 and are looking for a 5-0 clean sweep before they host the Asia Cup later this month.
