Umar Akmal apologizes to the fans

Akmal was suspended with immediate effect under Article 4.7.1 of the PCB Anti-Corruption Code, which means he cannot take part in any cricket-related activity until the investigation being carried out by PCB's Anti-Corruption Unit. A PCB statement said, "The Pakistan Cricket Board today suspended Umar Akmal with immediate effect...he cannot take part in any cricket-related activity pending the investigation being carried out by PCB’s Anti-Corruption Unit. “As this is an ongoing investigation, the PCB will not make any further comments,” it added. The 29-year old Akmal who was one of the mainstay of Quetta Gladiators in the forthcoming Pakistan Super League 2020 will now be thrown out of action. The franchise team is now allowed to apply for his replacement.

Article 4.7.1 of the PCB Anti-Corruption Code (a) the PCB decides to charge a Participant with an offence under this Anti-Corruption Code; or (b) the PCB considers that there are other exceptional circumstances relevant to a Participant (for example, where any relevant police authority has arrested and/or charged a Participant with an offence under any relevant criminal law in respect of facts or circumstances that may also constitute an offence under this Anti-Corruption Code), it, shall have the discretion, in circumstances where it considers that the integrity of the sport could otherwise be seriously undermined, to Provisionally Suspend the Participant pending the Anti-Corruption Tribunal’s determination of whether he/she has committed an offence. Any decision to Provisionally Suspend the Participant will be communicated to the Participant in writing, with a copy sent at the same time to the ICC and, where applicable, the National Cricket Federation to which the Participant is affiliated.
