Pakistan Cricket news/views

Honestly I thought it was a criminal offence? Guess that's just an Anglosphere thing then.
I actually don't think failing to report approaches is a criminal offence even here.

There *have* been suggestions Umar was actively involved in attempts to organise fixing and approaching other players which are criminal offences here, but he hasn't actually been internally charged with that.

Whatever it takes!!!
They are criminal offences in India too and I don't think it is different in Pakistan. Failure to report is not a criminal offence anywhere AFAIK and I don't think it would stand up legally even if they try to make it a criminal offence.

International Debutant
Lot of similarities to Marlon Samuels career:

- Older brother who played international cricket
- On dismal whitewash tour of Oz, as teenager is one of few bright spots with mature, stylish strokeplayer
- Big things expected after this but career floundered for years with attitude being major problem.
- Gets multi-year ICC suspension for dealings with bookies

Samuels made it back post-suspension, I guess anything's possible for Akmal.

Hopefully they all recover soon.

They'll probably do something daft, like thumping England with a 2nd string outfit now. Because Pakistan.
