Umar Akmal has been handed a three-year ban from all forms of cricket by PCB’s disciplinary panel for violating anti-corruption code.
PCB disciplinary panel heard the corruption charges case against Pakistan middle-order batsman Umar Akmal at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore.
The panel reviewed the PCB Anti-Corruption Unit’s evidence against the cricketer for his involvement in suspicious activities, headed by the Chairman of the Disciplinary Panel Justice (retired) Fazal-e-Miran Chauhan.
According to a statement by the PCB, Akmal did not request a hearing before the Anti-Corruption Tribunal where he could have pleaded innocence and contested the charges.
The decision indicates that Akmal has decided to accept whatever sanctions are imposed on him.
