For the avoidance of doubt, any posting by a Player or Player Support Personnel of comments on a social media platform (including, without limitation, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn) shall be deemed to be ‘public’ for the purposes of this offence. Consequently, a Player or Player Support Personnel may breach Article 2.7 where they criticise or make an inappropriate comment in relation to an incident occurring in a Match or any Player, Player Support Personnel, Match Official, Selection Committee, PCB officials or Cricket Team participating in any Match in any posting they make on a social media platform.
As per the above quote from link, many of the former cricketers on News Channels in Pakistan have been open and blunt in their views with regards to the strictness and the environment of current Pakistani Dressing room, which I should admit that it is not perfect and we definitely lack flamboyant players in current Pakistani cricket team lot, but the way Kamran Akmal and Salman Butt were bashing the "Fitness Test Criteria" and that too in front of the TV media which was actually spoiling them, because passing Yo Yo test is not the criteria of selecting into the National Team, but it is a per-requisite. Even in the religious context, we do not start offering prayers directly instead we cover per-requisites initially that is our dressing appropriate, are we clean, is the place we're going to offer prayers clean and do not place in front of the corridor etc and than we go for ablution and offer complete prayers with peace of mind, than how come we forget that cricket is a game starts from the fitness where every part of the body is involved with other part and if I start using the cricketing term, it is a game of hand-and-eye-coordination, so in order to select someone from a pool this is just a per-requisite.
A word to the Pakistani News Media
Pakistani news media shouldn't plagiarize the facts and figures, fitness shouldn't be the important factor which was rightly "manipulated" by Salman Butt, yes you read that right, he manipulated because I must admit, the PCB is also doing not right in having so much fitness emphasis instead they should emphasize on the fitness k how much fitness could he sustain for how much duration, but Salman Butt and Kamran Akmal were ousted from the National Team because of the reason I may not required to repeat those painful events, where I am not going to waste my time in repeating what Salman Butt had done but as far as Kamran Akmal is concerned, he has been part of multiple match fixing allegations, therefore in order to eradicate others for not pointing and raising fingers on the Pakistani flag and the Pakistani Cricket Team, he was barred from participating for the national job internationally.

Shame upon the Pakistani media
This is a matter of great shame for the shameless Pakistani media, where they are mixing up the meaning of forgiving and allow to represent the Pakistani colours in one single dimension, because according to the international laws of any country, defaming the country is a criminal offence and hence the criminal charge was not imposed on him instead his offence was reprimanded, but it didn't give him the straight forward right to be part of the National Duty, because wearing the Pakistani green and its official blazer with the word Pakistan embossed on it, means you're offering a National Duty and hence if one has been involved in so much match fixing allegations, he should be politely sidelined, which Kamran Akmal has been experiencing, for which he and Salman Butt both have been Manipulating the minds of the masses, because whatever they have been saying is not wrong but their intentions were definitely wrong. That is why it is the responsibility of the management with the team to make sure, such things doesn't happen, the same thing happened with Steven Smith of Australia and how much was he ashamed on his guilt is nothing worth to write words on, because he knew that due to this action of his, the whole Australia nation was called as cheats, and even upon return to International Cricket at Ashes last year, the English crowd was booing him, this is how much intensified this issue really is, and here we have Kamran Akmal who has a paragraph full of Match Fixing Allegations at different sources, and still he's bragging that as he has been forgiven therefore it is hi straight forward right to return to Pakistani Greens.
Forgiven and inclusion into the Pakistani greens are two different dimensions
Pakistani media should remember one thing that after a player is plagiarized in defaming the country, he/the person has given open license to any one in raising fingers to the country any time of the year, therefore stop promoting such players, He might be a better player but one must remember Shakoor Rana and Mike Gatting incident, where it was handled accordingly, Kamran Akmal might be innocent in these allegations but these allegations are marked on the career of his with a permanent marker, therefore he should accept that and instead give lectures to the younger generations on how to avoid such circumstances otherwise you're going to pay the price like he did. If he does something like that, it'd be better thing and I would be the first person to appreciate his act.
