As this is an ongoing investigation, the PCB will not make any further comments. Meanwhile, earlier this month, reports of the batsman exposing himself during a skin-fold test had emerged. Akmal had exposed himself entirely during the skin-fold test, asking his trainer, “Where is the fat?”
Meanwhile, Quetta Gladiators will apply for Umar Akmal’s replacement in the HBL Pakistan Super League 2020. It will commence today at 9:00 pm (PST). This year also marks the first time the whole event is taking place within the country. A huge win for the people who were subjugated to terrorism just a decade ago.
