PCB reacts to the allegations of Umar Akmal

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reacted to the allegations levelled by the cricketer Umar Akmal against Chief Coach Micky Arthur. According to a statement issued by the PCB, "Umar was given as many as seven chances to improve his fitness and match the standards of his teammates, laid out by the team management."

The statement added, that Umar was given a program to improve his fitness like other players before the West Indies tour and after he failed the tests in Lahore, he was left out of the team.

After clearing another test before the squad selection on the eve of the ICC Champions Trophy in England, Umar was included in the eventual 15 member squad.
