Pakistan cricketer Umran Akmal has filed a complaint against some fans who he claims had a verbal altercation with him while getting his autographs. In an interesting turn of events, the cricketer received some of his fans at his residence. According to the report of Pakistan’s newspaper ‘The Nation’, when fans asked for autographs, Akmal immediately agreed but things quickly escalated and the two groups got into heated arguments.
Two fans are now in the custody of Karachi Police after it turns out that one of them holds a British passport. The incident happened when some of them were taking selfies, from where it all started.
Umar Akmal has represented Pakistan in 16 Tests, 121 ODIs and 84 T20Is in which he managed to score 5,887 runs. These include three centuries and 34 fifties.
Umar Akmal apologizes for not reporting corrupt practices
Pakistan batsman Umar Akmal has apologized for not reporting corrupt links last year, for which the 31-year-old was banned for 12 months.
“Seventeen months ago, I made a mistake that damaged my cricket and career. I learned a lot during this and that mistake caused a lot of damage to the reputation of Pakistan cricket. I apologize to the PCB and cricket fans around the world ,” Akmal said in a video released by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Wednesday.
Akmal admitted that the period was “very difficult for him”.
“Some people contacted me but I could not report it to the anti-corruption unit, due to which I faced a 12-month ban. Despite being a cricketer, I could not play cricket. I learned a lot during this time and today I accept in front of all of you that that mistake brought disrepute to Pakistan cricket.”
The right-handed batsman was banned in February 2020 for failure to report fixing-related approaches just before the start of the fifth season of the Pakistan Super League. After apologizing to his family, PCB and cricket fans, Akmal had a message for the cricketers.
“I, Umar Akmal, would like to request all of you, as ambassadors of sports, to stay away from any suspicious activities. If any suspicious person contacts you, please report it to the Anti-Corruption Unit in time to keep your record and career clean.”
