Karachi: Pakistan batsman Younis Khan, who played for Rajasthan Royals in the lucrative Indian Premier League, has confirmed he has received full payment from the IPL.

“Yes the IPL has cleared all my dues including the bonus amount from the winning purse for the tournament,” said Younis, who played only one match for the eventual champions of the tournament.

Younis said that to his knowledge, his compatriot Umar Gul had also got his payments cleared by the IPL. The pacer, who hails from the North West Frontier Province appeared in a number of matches for Kolkata Knight Riders.

Younis, who joined the Royals side one month late, insisted that the team management cleared his decision under a understanding with the Royals team management.

“I was in touch with them after they had allowed me initially a week off to join them late. But later they said since everything was going well I could join them late. I joined them after getting clearance,” Younis said.

The senior player said he was happy that despite his limited appearance for the Rajasthan Royals side they had upheld his contractual obligations.

Sources say all the other Pakistani players, who participated in the tournament including captain Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Asif, Mohammad Hafeez, Salman Butt, Shoaib Akhtar, Misbah-ul-Haq and Kamran Akmal have also had their payments cleared from the IPL.
