Pakistan’s Umar Akmal fined for night out in Dubai
Pakistani cricketer Umar Akmal’s dancing skills off the pitch have landed him in trouble as the maverick 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 on social media showed Umar attending a concert and dancing on Friday night in Dubai. The Pakistan Cricket Board said in a statement late Monday that Umar had apologized after team manager Talat Ali charged him with breaching the team’s curfew and going to a club, a violation of the rules for tours. “I am glad that Umar has realized his mistake, and has accepted and apologized for his actions, which were clearly unprofessional and in no way can be ignored or overlooked,” PCB managing director Wasim Khan said.
