The attorney, in his appeal claimed to the court that his client was not given the opportunity to defend himself or even make his case and thus justice was not done.

Akmal’s case first reported a day before the Pakistan Super League 2020 kicked off in March. He was expelled from the Quetta Gladiators squad, and it later emerged that that was done so because of his failure to report multiple approaches by corrupt elements.

Later, Akmal had decided to not fight the charges, following which a disciplinary committee had banned him for three years but he managed to find relief in appeal to the independent adjudicator.
