Summary Umar Akmal has denied all the allegations imposed by PCB.
KARACHI (Dunya News) - Star player of Pakistan cricket team Umar Akmal on Sunday has denied all the allegations imposed by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) over his irresponsible attitude.
While talking to media in Karachi, Umar Akmal clarified that he only went for dinner and came back on time. He also said that he will hold a meeting with chairman PCB Shahryar Khan and will let him know about the entire Hyderabad incident.
The stunning batsman refused to name the other cricketers who were also part of the issue. He said that he will submit reply on PCB’s show cause tomorrow.
He further appealed the media to refrain from broadcasting any views against him as he is innocent and has not degraded the image of the country. He said he wants to play for Pakistan.
Earlier, PCB on Thursday dropped batsman Umar Akmal from the T20 squad against England over ‘immoral acts’ at a dance party in Hyderabad.
A show cause notice had been served to Akmal whereas PCB had also formed a committee to launch an inquiry against him.
The Chairman PCB and Chief Selector did not, however, tell what kind of ‘immoral acts’ were committed by the star batsman. They said they have initiated an inquiry following the reports of Akmal’s ‘violation of discipline’.
After the announcement of the T20 squad against England, Chief Selector Haroonur Rasheed presented an explanation to the media. He said the ‘shameless’ incident that took place in Hyderabad has maligned the board.
