"Younis is returning home immediately from Sri Lanka after his 10-year old nephew, Saad Khan died in India," an official of the board said.
Saad had gone to India for a liver transplant but couldn't survive the operation. His body is being flown back from India today and he will be buried in his hometown, Mardan in Pakistan.
"Younis is not in condition to take further part in the one-day series in Sri Lanka so he is returning home," the official stated.
Younis, who will miss the last two ODIs in Sri Lanka, will now have to wait till the series against Australia in October-November to find out whether he remains in the one-day squad.
Younis had made a comeback to the national ODI squad for the Sri Lankan tour after March, 2013 when he had played in South Africa.
