Umar Akmal not apologetic on his misconduct

Original article marks here

Middle Akmal planning something for the long run

I might be acting as a devil's advocate but I am feeling, while Middle Akmal ain't going to file remorse and apology in front the tribunal which would keep him out of the competitive cricket till February 19, 2023, which is something raising my eyebrows because many of the former players indicted in fixing allegations claimed that cricket is their bread and butter therefore they should be allowed to participate in either playing or coaching cricket, therefore it is something mind wobbling for me.

Isn't it possible

Umar Akmal claiming

This is highly possible after some months time, we would be finding UA on National Television as analysts read Salman Butt where he is going to claim that He was honest and this 'n that because of which I didn't compete therefore now I should be given a chance either as a cricketer/coach/cricket analyst, because I stood firm, this is what I personally have seen recently on Pakistani National TV, where sorry to say Pakistani TV has been acting devil for Pakistan cricket where they have influenced so much on Pakistani Cricket team selection criterion's that it is something ruined the strata of Pakistan cricket.

Media on Umar Akmal

I am also not expecting goods from current lot of Pakistani media personnel who do not have the etiquette in selecting their RSVP for their debate shows on cricketing events, where they have been placing undue pressure on selecting players endorsed by them, so how come it could be assured that Pakistani media ain't going to imply this tactic on Umar Akmal?

Why we are so short sighted?

Why we forget player's misconduct and the act they did recently or long past? Why there have been posts on the social media platform that comparison between an Indian current cricket team skipper and Pakistani cover drive sensation and showing that the sensation is much greater than the Indian skipper! Is that thing is to be discussed on social media platform? Why we forget that stats doesn't reflect the scenario those runs were scored, economy of that Indian skipper ain't justify the situation he scored those runs, why we doesn't analyze things on logical way? This is the responsibility of the masses to compete with news media to keep them WITHIN limits, therefore this is not the fault of the news media but of the people who like sensation news instead of on being logical.

Umar Akmal, when you do not nip-in-the-bud on given time

Although, Umar Akmal is surely responsible for whatever the trouble he's in, but the fact is, it requires two hands to create a clap.

Management requires to be proactive

This is the main bone of contention because whoever reading this from anywhere and from any part of the world, would surely agree with me that characters like Umar Akmal are in every part of the cricketing world, it is just the matter of how the cricket board of that country tackles with them.

List of some modern-day cricketers creating troubles for the Cricket Boards

Like I mentioned above, the cricket fraternity is filled with cricketers creating trouble for their respective cricket boards, but their case studies show that it is because of the prompt actions amid their cricket boards, that we rate them as current modern-day likable.

Ricky Ponting

Also known as Punter, furthermore he has been associated with Australia, Antigua Hawksbills, ICC World XI, Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai Indians, Somerset, Surrey, Tasmania. While his blade has sparkled, his stewardship is pock-marked by three Ashes defeats - two in England and one at home - and stumbles to South Africa and India.

As a batsman the only debate is where to rank him in the high reaches of the game's greatest run-makers. Acclaimed by Academy coach Rod Marsh as the best teenage batsman he had ever seen, Ponting began with Tasmania at 17 and Australia at 20 and was given out unluckily for 96 on his Test debut. There were some teething problems, including a public admission of an alcohol problem, but the longer he went on the more he matured, building up records and runs.

But the fact is, he was a reckless darling of Australian cricket, but the reality is their cricket board managed him accordingly;

Being alcoholic

In early 1999, Ricky Ponting suffered a major blow, as he was involved in a fight within a night club that left him unhanded, in return he was subsequently suspended for three matches for this controversial behavior. For the first time, his love of gambling makes headlines for all the wrong reasons.

A foul-mouthed captain

The bitter loss for Ponting was so humiliating that he could not control his anger. He famously lost his cool, known as a controversial incident in recent days when he was run out by substitute fielder Gary Pert in the fourth Test against England. England coach Duncan Fletcher was fined 75% of the match fee as soon as he left the pitch at Trent Bridge.

Virat Kohli

During his early days, he was flamboyant and used to fight with his fellow cricketers in the team, therefore it was a hard time for even BCCI to rehabilitate him, because had BCCI didn't take respective actions to safeguard a cricketer who is fearless, and always ready to take challenges on his shoulders, because being a Pakistani, I am not going to forget the innings of VK even when I'd be in my 60s when in an Asia Cup game, he chased a massive target placed by Pakistan and won India an unbelievable ODI game.

Therefore getting back to the topic

The fault lies with both Umar Akmal and the cricketing board which is Pakistan Cricket Board (The PCB), where not only Umar Akmal but the Cricket Board is equally responsible and again this is not a contradiction of my above arguments where I have shown my eagerness in giving punishments to the players who plays with the name of the country, but my additional step from this argument is that who is going to implement the intention for eradicating the trust of cricket game lovers, having additional players in support of the players already performing, because monopoly is not good for the game, and if we praise a player like a god, it is going to show light for those players that they are invincibles, whose responsibility was that to ensure monopoly doesn't sustain? Whose responsibility was to ensure to have a rehabilitation program for safeguarding the interest of the country and the country's cricket board?

No sympathies for Umar Akmal but he has been scapegoated!

Again I have to repeat, No sympathies for a drama queen like Umar Akmal who thought to be famous is to do controversial and objectional things on the social media, everyone likes seeking attention, but in seeking attention, one must not cross his limits set by the seniors, and it is the responsibility of the management to make sure everything goes in sync with the organization, in the present scenario is PCB, therefore Umar Akmal is the main culprit but the management is equally responsible for not taking timely actions to eradicate the repercussions.

Repetitive incidents in the recent past

Repetitive incidents in the recent past have definitely exposed the loopholes of the cricket board because this is the responsibility of the cricket board not to have a repetitive instance multiple times.

Not agreeing with Shoaib Akhtar

This again needs to be clarified, that I am not agreeing as while I am critical of the cricket board but at least I am not biased as Shoaib Akhtar just because he had displeased incidents with the PCB and he had grudges toward them, for which he exploited because he has been using Umar Akmal's shoulders to aim his own proposed plans. This is a national issue as Pakistan's name is being dirtied amid Umar Akmal punishment and therefore we need to use our words sensibly because one wrong word in this social media era can make a mockery of the whole nation within minutes. So if someone has a wide fan-club as Shoaib Akhtar needs to behave with empathy and should sideline his personal grudges at the side and be neutral on his comments because that shows the stature of a person.

Akmal... Akmal... Umar Akmal... Did it again

I am not here to already ridiculed Middle Akmal of his own wrong doing, because he has already been ridiculed, trolled and memed at Twitter therefore I am going to have some thing more soberly and would try my level best not to troll him any more than what he has been already.

A bullet train who took a complete U-turn at the wrong time

There is an Urdu saying which definitely suits the current scenario and whom alternative idiom not available in English transliterations;

ہزاروں خواہشیں ایسی کہ ہر خواہش پر دم نکلے

بہت نکلے میرے ارمان لیکن پھر بھی کم نکلے

 ؒLike mentioned on #ESPNcricinfo, Umar Akmal's troubled cricket career has hit its biggest roadblock yet, with the PCB handing him a ban from all representative cricket for three years after he pleaded guilty to failing to report details of corrupt approaches made to him ahead of this year's PSL.
Furthermore, ESPNcricinfo also end up saying; Umar Akmal's troubled cricket career has hit its biggest roadblock yet, with the PCB handing him a ban from all representative cricket for three years after he pleaded guilty to failing to report details of corrupt approaches made to him ahead of this year's PSL.

This is a shame for us as Pakistanis

Because ironically few hours ago, Veteran Cricketer Salim Malik also pleaded guilty and accepted his faults and in repercussions asked for the softer corner like Salman Butt, Muhammad Asif and Muhammad Amir did, which brings to me to my next point as follows.

Fear of being accused

This is another aspect which either leads us otherwise detracts us whenever we try to indulge in such things, have we forgotten the universal law, that there is light at the end of the tunnel? Than how come these players indulge themselves while being on the privileged end, act so naive and sans view the bigger and the broader picture while not playing with their careers? This thing only occurs when fear of being accused is placed on the desktop instead keeping it under the carpet and thinking the carpet will definitely eat up all the mess they have hidden inside, which brings me to my next point.

Negligence of the management

Sorry to say but the reality and the fact is, this is a ridiculous thought the players solely are responsible for the mess and management is under the curtains and on the elite panel, one must question the management, here it is the PCB, that how come such thing occur under your nose? It definitely means there are strata within the PCB covering all this up, because of which this mess converted into a volcano and now placing havoc on the whole nation.

Globally and the National Pride?

Can it be assured that after this is done;

1. Our media acts in favour of the country
2. Umar Akmal sans represent in Pakistan colours/blazer?
3. Critically analyze the back-management related to such matters.
4. Articles being written on the news media regarding heavy finement and condemnation on such acts so that our coming generations became aware of it and hence avoid risking their rainbow careers into blacks?
5. Include the condemnation into curriculum because it is heavily required to encode these aspects as bad things in the minds of the younger ones
6. Proper implementation of strict SOP's must be placed in order to avoid repeating such instances in future, because the whole nation pride is dependent on it when we're on the international scale.
7. Make UA a sign of shame for future generation, that how a rising star turned south within a decade because of his stupidity.

If above mentioned are assured, only afterwards I am gonna appreciate the management of PCB, otherwise it is like again we say in Urdu, تھوک پالش کرنا۔

The legacy of Akmal Brothers

What else is remain when previously too, both brothers have been part of such occurrences on regular interval(s)

Are we making team for representing Pakistan Cricket international or is it the other-way-round? This is a shame, that most of 'social-media-activists' have been part of defending them without taking account of what they have been doing to the country, instead of thinking for the country, they have been thinking otherwise, as had it been the country, Akmal Brothers would definitely have been placed outside the Pakistan Green blazer, but instead we're too comfortable in defending their inclusion into the National Side, and that too when the Senior Akmal possesses the following error despite of his hard-hitting-capability.

Therefore, what is the blueprint-criteria of representing Pakistan Greens in 2020? The one who is having behavioral issues that too on continuum, and the other one is lacking the athleticism in his fitness, even if he scores 100 in a match, when he is not going to save runs while fielding lets suppose 10 and/or 15 runs so ultimately his 100 runs worth 90 and/or 85 runs, and that too I am assuming IF HE SCORES A 100, which is not possible for anyone to score a ton in every individual match, so if he doesn't score and loses the ball upon his grip or saving a sudden boundary i.e. reducing a 4 into 3 on regular, are we saying we want to give another chance to the tried-and-tested? THINK BEFORE YOU ADVOCATE SUCH PLAYERS SPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT INCLUSION OF A PARTICULAR PLAYER TO REPRESENT PAKISTAN GREENS...

Umar Akmal ... once again....

Senior & Junior Akmal both in hot waters after failing the
fitness test by huge margin

Umar Akmal did it again. It is likely that Umar Akmal will find himself in the hot water with the PCB once again after he would have misbehaved with the team during a fitness test at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) at Lahore. Young Akmal is believed to have been exposed in frustration during a test and is being faced with the prospect of being expelled from the next domestic tournament. Akmal's older brother Kamran must also be in trouble after both the two brothers failed their fitness tests by significant margins. Salman Butt may also be in trouble with the authorities, after leaving an aptitude test when his rescheduling request was denied.

Kindly create new talent, instead of reverting back to those already tested

Reference

I'll to admit, we as a nation, always want something ready-made instead of working hard and mentoring the young-blood, this is not in sports only but as a nation, because in every field, instead of mentoring and motivating them, we downgrade them and instead show them being arrogant is the key, therefore I'll have to admit with Younus Khan, that the slaughter of Pakistan cricket was initiated post 1992 era, it was the structure of then Cricket Board that Pakistan Cricket survived, but sorry to say; now we have slaughtered the Pakistan cricket to that extent that Pakistan Cricket has nothing much to offer, because of that slaughter practice, we didn't work on grooming the young blood and creating the backup-of-backup, let alone backup of the main-player, therefore this has been the problem because of which we have been reverting to these already tested players, I do not have personal grudge with any of them but the fact is work on grass root instead of the national team, because when you'd work on grass root, would generate players for the national cricket team, consequently it is a cyclic process, for which we have to be patient otherwise it is bye bye cricket for Pakistan (apologies if someone hurts; but these are my own opinions regarding reverting back to these already tested player and how our mainstream media is advocating their return shamelessly)
