Pakistan’s Umar Akmal fined for night out in Dubai vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Pakistani cricketer Umar Akmal’s dancing skills off the pitch have landed him in trouble as the maverick middle-order batsman was fined 20 percent of his match fee for a night out in Dubai.The 28-year-old talented yet indisciplined player was in the United Arab Emirates for a five-match series against Australia, which Pakistan lost 5-0 in Dubai on Sunday.But a video clip circulating on social media showed Umar attending a concert and dancing on Friday night in Dubai.
“I am glad that Umar has realised his mistake, and has accepted and apologised for his actions, which were clearly unprofessional and in no way can be ignored or overlooked,” PCB managing director Wasim Khan said. Umar managed just 150 runs in the five matches — a disappointing show that could have a negative impact on his potential selection for the 2019 World Cup, to be held in England and Wales from May 30 to July 14.He was infamously arrested for a day in 2014 after attacking a traffic warden. In 2015, he was dropped from the Pakistan team after local media reported another raucous night of dancing.
