Akmal was also investigated by the PCB earlier this month for alleged misconduct. Akmal had exposed himself to a trainer during his fitness test out of frustration and asked him, “Where is the fat?”. The player’s brother, cricketer Kamran Akmal said that Umar had done it out of mischief. The PCB, in a statement said it was “fully aware of the matter and was looking into punishments in the context of bringing the game into disrepute”. The cricket board in its inquiry heard all parties concerned and concluded that the incident happened due to a “misunderstanding”, a press release later issued by the board had said.Quetta Gladiators have replaced Akmal with Anwar Ali in the line-up for the HBL Pakistan Super League 2020 following the event’s technical committee’s approval. 32-year-old Ali comes in as a silver category player and has been part of the Quetta Gladiators squad in all previous editions.
