Umar Akmal may serve only a part of his three-year ban: Report

Umar Akmal may serve only a part of his three-year ban: Report


Pakistani cricketer Umar Akmal may have to serve only a fraction of his three-year ban, according to a report by India Today  that said that the detailed verdict may mark part of his verdict suspended. 
A source close to PCB told the Indian agency that the short order does not say how much, if any, of the three-year ban is suspended, which leaves the door open that he may only have to serve a year of his ban.
"People are jumping to conclusions about the three-year ban but the detailed order is yet to come out. Akmal might eventually get a three-year ban with two years suspended or something like that," the source informed.
However, if Akmal slips then he will most definitely be banned for the entire three-year duration.
"He could get a suspended sentence in his three-year ban because this will also test him as an individual to see how he behaves and conducts himself in future," the source said.
"When majority of a ban is suspended, the player has to be careful with his behaviour or he could end up being banned for the entire duration of the ban."
Once the detailed judgment is out, Akmal can then appeal against the panel's decision within 14 days of the hearing.

Umar Akmal banned for three years from all forms of cricket

The PCB had banned Akmal for three years from all forms of cricket on Monday, finding him guilty on corruption charges.
"Umar Akmal handed three-year ban from all cricket by Chairman of the Disciplinary Panel Mr Justice (retired) Fazal-e-Miran Chauhan," the Pakistan Cricket Board said in a tweet.




Akmal had landed in trouble with the board after he said during an interview that he was offered $200,000 by fixers to leave two deliveries in one of the matches. The cricketer had also claimed that he was offered money to skip matches against India.
“I was once offered $200,000 for leaving two deliveries. I was also offered to skip matches against India,” he had said in the interview.
The batsman also said that he was approached during ICC World Cup, including the 2015 edition played in Australia and New Zealand.
However, Akmal had failed to mention if he had reported this to the anti-corruption unit or not.
According to ICC anti-corruption code 2.4.4 and 2.4.5, players are bound to report all the corrupt approaches made to them during any event and failure of doing so carry a minimum punishment of five years.
The source added that the suspension would give him some time to reflect upon his past misconducts and possibly give him time to improve.

BCCI suggests deferring World Test Championship

BCCI suggests deferring World Test Championship The BCCI has suggested the World Test Championship (WTC) be postponed as the cricket world grapples with a calendar vastly disrupted by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. India sits atop the WTC points table currently, in prime position to qualify for the final, but the suggestion was made by the BCCI as members agreed that the entire FTP through to 2023 would need to be collectively reviewed "with a view to rescheduling as much of the cricket that has been postponed due to COVID-19 as possible." As expected, no big decisions were taken at the ICC convened Chief Executives' Committee meeting via conference call, but the CEC did agree that both the T20 World Cup (scheduled to be played in Australia in October-November) and the 2021 Women's ODI World Cup (to be played in New Zealand next February-March) for now remain on course. What has been agreed upon is that there will be regular updates, possibly once a month,...
