Umar Akmal further mentioned that his fitness is good, and he wants to play for the Pakistan cricket team. He expressed positivity about the state of cricket and stated that things will improve with Nawaz Sharif’s involvement.
It should be noted that Umar Akmal had previously faced suspension for not reporting spot-fixing during the Pakistan Super League. He also apologized for this.
