ICC won't be laying any charges on former Pakistan cricketer Mansoor Akhtar

The International Cricket Council's (ICC) Anti-Corruption Unit senior manager Steve Richardson clarified that no charge of fixing was being brought against him in a letter to former Pakistan cricketer Mansoor Akhtar. Mansoor has been cleared of fixing charges by the ICC. Former Pakistan international Umar Akmal accused the former cricketer in 2019 of approaching him for fixing in Canada's Global T20 League. Umar had informed the PCB's anti-corruption unit and the event organisers about the situation. Akmal was a Winnipeg Hawks' management team member, including Akhtar. The ACU Senior Manager clarified in a letter to the 64-year-old that no charge of fixing was being brought against him. "I am writing to inform you of the outcome of the investigation into the corrupt approach that you allegedly made to a player in October 2019," the letter read. "This information has previously been notified to you via WhatsApp. The investigation has now concluded, and the ICC will not be laying any charges against you. Decisions have been made, taking into account many factors however, if any further evidence comes to notice the ICC reserves the right to reopen the investigation. We would like to thank you for your cooperation with the investigation," further read the letter. Between 1980 and 1990, Mansoor appeared in 19 Tests and 41 One-Day Internationals.

T20 World Cup | Shoaib Malik hits fastest-ever fifty for Pakistan in T20I history

Shoaib Malik was at his lethal best tonight against Scotland in their last Super 12 game at the T20 World Cup 2021. He came back with an instinct of scoring fast at his arrival at the crease, Pakistan were 112-3 in 15 overs and needed acceleration. That is when Malik took it upon himself to deliver. The right-hander hit only a single four and six sixes five of which came in the last two overs as he reached his fifty in only 18 balls, the fastest ever for Pakistan, breaking the previous record of 22 ball fifty held by Umar Akmal. This is also the joint-fastest fifty in this edition of the World cup as he equalled India's KL Rahul’s 18 ball fifty record Which was also incidentally achieved against Scotland. Courtesy of this fifty from Malik, which is his ninth in 121 T20I games, Pakistan managed to reach 189 in their 20 overs, scoring 67 off the last 24 balls. Malik, 39 is also one of the oldest to hit an international T20 fifty. Apart from Malik, Babar Azam also hit a fifty in the game and he also equalled a record for most fifty in one edition of the T20 World Cup, achieved jointly by Virat Kohli and Matthew Hayden in different World Cups.

Umar Akmal joins league cricket in California; scores golden duck on debut

Umar Akmal joins league cricket in California; scores golden duck on debut

Pakistan batsman Umar Akmal scored a golden duck on his debut for Northern California Cricket Association. The right-handed batsman had left Pakistan to feature in league cricket in the USA and signed a short-term contract with Northern California. Umar had made a return to the game after the completion of his ban for breaching the PCB's anti-corruption code. While the board had helped him follow his rehabilitation program, he wasn’t considered for the selection in the top domestic teams and was asked to play for a second XI side. Due to this, he missed out on being a part of the National T20 tournament. The right-hander didn’t impress much while playing for the Central Punjab Second XI in the PCB Cricket Associations T20 tournament and managed to score 0, 14, 7, 16 and 29 during the course. One of his family members said that Umar wasn’t given a “fair treatment” on making a return. “There are a few others who were banned with bigger charges but given unprecedented support to make a comeback. The system was never fair to Umar. There were blatant compromises made to select a few players with poor fitness, but the benchmark was made tighter for him [Umar] to make sure keep him out."

Umar Akmal pays PKR 4.5 million fine to PCB, could rejoin professional cricket

Umar Akmal pays PKR 4.5 million fine to PCB, could rejoin professional cricket

Pakistan’s controversial kid Umar Akmal, after several attempts to get any rebate in paying his 4.5 Million Pakistani Rupees fine to the Pakistan Cricket Board for breaching the anti-corruption code, has finally submitted the amount in total. With this, the Lahore born would now be able to join PCB’s Anti-Corruption rehabilitation program and get back to professional cricket. Earlier in February this year, the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) had shortened his 18-month ban, imposed on him by PCB in February 2020, to just 12 months on the condition that he paid PKR 4.5 Million to the board. "Umar has deposited the full amount of 4.5 million rupees with the board which means he is now eligible to start the rehab program of the Anti-Corruption code of the board," a source close to PCB was quoted as saying by Cricket.com However, the junior Akmal who celebrates his 31st birthday today, May 26, would have to wait sometime before he begins to play professionally. "Practically it will take some time before Akmal can resume his cricket career as his rehab program would take a while to be completed as the anti-corruption unit of the PCB is presently busy with the Pakistan Super League matches to be held in Abu Dhabi next month," the source revealed. Umar, who debuted in 2009, has so far played 221 matches for Pakistan, scoring 7887 runs across all formats.
