PCB TO PROBE UMAR AKMAL, JUNAID ARGUMENT

KARACHI: The PCB has set up a three-member inquiry committee to probe the ugly spat between international players Umar Akmal and Junaid Khan ahead of their Pakistan Cup (National One Day) match. Akmal, captaining the Punjab province against Sindh in Rawalpindi was asked about his team combination. Akmal said, “I just found out when I walked into the ground that Junaid is absent. I am very surprised. The manager and coach told me he is not going to be playing today. It’s a shocking news for me as a captain,” Akmal said. Within minutes, Junaid released a video message from his hotel room hitting out at Akmal before adding that he had to skip the tie because of food poisoning.
