Umar Akmal has been banned from all forms of cricket for a period of 3 years on corruption charges by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Disciplinary Panel.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had suspended the 29-year-old in February pending an anti-corruption investigation by its disciplinary panel.
He now has been charged for breaching Article 2.4.4 of PCB’s Anti-Corruption Code.
Umar had until March 31 to respond to the show cause notice sent to him by the PCB but he had decided not to challenge it.
He now is the second high profile cricketer to be banned for the case after Sarjeel Khan who will be serving 5 years ban.
