Umar Akmal made a comeback after serving a ban, named on the center of the Punjab

Karachi: Terrible Batsman Enfant Pakistan, Umar Akmal will play competitive cricket for the first time since February 2020 after being named in the Punjab Center squad for the upcoming domestic season.
Umar, who was recently permitted to continue playing Crick Club Cricket in Lahore, was banned by PCB last year because he did not report the offer of installation of places made to him during the Pakistani Super League (PSL).
The 31-year-old has apologized for his actions and also attended the anti-corruption lecture by PCB.
“Umar seems to have realized his mistake during this rehabilitation program and he showed clear regrets for his actions which was good enough for us to allow him to now return to the first cricket class,” said a PCB official.
The 31-year-old Umar has played 16 tests, 121 ODIS and 84 T20 internationally for their country.
His last appearance in international matches came in November 2019 when he played in the T20 series at home against Sri Lanka.
Before the ban on February 2020 Umar slammed a hundred in the quaid-e-azam trophy final for the middle punjab.
Batsman puzzles other than serving a ban must also pay a fine of 4.2 million rupees to a PCB because of his failure to report spot installation offers.
PCB has announced six provincial teams for the domestic season with 32 players on each side set to get a domestic contract from the council.
The board does not include players contracted centrally on the team announced this week.
Umar has been involved in a number of controversy and discipline problems since making his debut for Pakistan in 2009.
His brother and testing Wicketkeeper, Kamran Akmal said people would see the reformed version of the domestic season in the upcoming domestic season.
“We have a lot of discussion with him as a family and he has also reviewed it himself and he knows where he has improved himself,” Kamran said.
National T20, featuring the country’s best shortest format format, will be held from September 25 to October 13.
The first eighteen matches will be held in Multan, while 15 remaining matches, including the two semi-finals and finals, will be held in Lahore.
The Quaid-e-Azam Cup will begin on October 20.
The first half of the 10-round league competition will be held in Multan, Faisalabad and Lahore.
The event will then move to Karachi where he will lead to the final five days from December 29.
