On the other hand, Arthur while refuting Akmal’s accusations has said that although he rebuked the cricketer but did not used foul language with him.
Earlier, Umar Akmal claimed that head coach Mickey Arthur unfairly chastised him and asked him to leave the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in a confrontation, branding him undeserving.
He said that he wishes to approach the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) against the coaching staff which according to him unfairly dropped him of Chmapions Trophy 2017 squad. He claimed that he was dropped for reasons other than fitness, that he is not sure of.
Umar Akmal said that if a player is dropped out of series for whatever reasons, it does not warrant for the coach or any staffer to humiliate him when he is making efforts to better his game. He requested the PCB chief to take notice of the incident and keep a check on the coaching staff, primarily the head coach.
