Pakistan Cricketer Umar Akmal is currently suspended for three years after he failed to report the corruption approaches.
“I am definitely surprised at the harsh punishment given to Umar. A three- year ban is very harsh. He will definitely approach every available forum to appeal against this ban,”said Kamran Akmal.
“Definitely it is hard to understand because other players in the past have got shorter bans for similar offences. Yet Umar has got such a harsh punishment,” he said.
Umar Akmal, who last played for Pakistan against Sri Lanka in a home T20 series in 2019, was charged on two counts of not reporting offers made to him to spot-fix in the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
