Asia Cup 2023: ACC allows reserve day for Ind-Pak match in rare exception
In an unprecedented move, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has decided to keep a reserve day only for the marquee…
Pakistan batsman Umar Akmal, who has been out of the international scene for quite a long period of time, has come under the scanner of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for a wrong reason.
Umar has been dealing with heavy numbers in the ongoing Quaid-E-Azam Trophy which forced the selectors to call him for a selection test ahead of Pakistan’s squad declaration for one-off Test against Bangladesh.
Unfortunately, the 29-year-old failed to clear the test and frustration got better of him at the National Cricket Academy (NCA). He expressed an extreme reaction upon his failure and took off his shirt in anger while asking the trainer to show fat in his body.

Umar, meanwhile, has been in red-hot form in the domestic circuit for the Central Punjab team and his last six innings include a knock of 122 and another of 218 runs. The double ton was graced by 20 boundaries and eight maximums.
