He had also shown disregard to former head coach Waqar Younis’s warning on using social media during practice sessions and games.

The right-handed batsman was also criticized over ‘immoral acts’ at a dance party in Hyderabad after which PCB slapped him with a show-cause notice.

In the past, Umar Akmal was charged for allegedly assaulting a traffic warden following a heated argument in Lahore. The player not only violated traffic signal but also threatened the traffic warden.

Reacting on this development, Umar Akmal Monday admitted that he visited a theatre, saying there is nothing wrong in watching a stage drama.
