According to a detailed judgment on Akmal’s case, released by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Friday, Akmal’s lack of cooperation left no room for reduction in his three years’ suspension from all formats of the game.
“It appears that he (Umar Akmal) is not prepared to show remorse and seek an apology, make an admission that he failed to fulfill his responsibility under Anti-Corruption Code, Article 2.4.4,” Justice Chauhan stated.
“He tried to take refuge under the pretext that in the past whenever any such approaches were made, the matter was reported by him,” he added.
