Akmal under investigation for match-fixing: report

Published Fri, Feb 26 10 02:56 PM

Karachi, Feb 27 (PTI) Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal is being questioned for suspected involvement in match fixing and could be ignored for the Twenty20 World Championship if he fails to prove his innocence, a media report here has claimed. A report in ''The News'' quoting sources said Akmal was axed from the Pakistan squad for the two Twenty20 matches against England in Dubai because of the suspicion that he might have deliberately dropped catches during the second Test in Sydney against Australia last month. However, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had said that he was overlooked because of his flop show in Australia and speaking to media without consulting the Board. "If he fails to prove his innocence, Kamran may be overlooked for the ICC World Twenty20 Championship in the Caribbean where Pakistan will be looking to defend their title this May," the source was quoted as saying. .
