Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) anti-corruption unit (ACU) has approached cricketer Umar Akmal to file his assertion relating to a latest Al Jazeera documentary on corruption in cricket, wherein he was proven to satisfy an alleged match-fixer’s affiliate.
Within the documentary launched on Sunday, Akmal — who’s presently out of the nationwide group — was photographed “receiving and peering into a bag allegedly given to him” by the affiliate of a person named Aneel Munawar, although the pictures didn’t present whether or not Akmal had left with the bag.
PCB’s Chief Working Officer Subhan Ahmed immediately revealed that Akmal has been contacted on the matter, and that he has agreed to seem earlier than the ACU as soon as he’s free from his home cricketing commitments.
Subhan mentioned that the PCB has a “zero tolerance policy” on corruption and match-fixing points, including that “we have assured the ICC that our anti-corruption unit will thoroughly investigate the allegations leveled at our national cricketer.”
