Description:

Mickey Arthur, the former Pakistan head coach, has been criticised by Umar Akmal for damaging his career, stating Arthur was an unprofessional coach.

"Mickey Arthur had personal issues with me at the time, but the team management at the time didn"t say anything, and they"re still silent today." Mickey Arthur, on the other hand, later admitted to using abusive remarks against me."

Former captain Inzamam-ul Haq and former leg spinner Mushtaq Ahmed were present when the right-handed batter accused the former head coach of assaulting him at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore.

Umar Akmal revealed in an interview that he was one of the players who refused to accept hefty payments in T20 leagues just for national commitment.

"I"m one of the few Pakistani cricketers who have turned down lucrative T20 league contracts in exchange for a commitment to local cricket."

In response to a question, Akmal said Imran Khan asked Waqar Younis to send him to the 2016 Cricket World Cup at number 3."It"s a common misconception that in the 2016 T20 World Cup, I asked Imran Khan to suggest to team management that I be sent at number three." IK had questioned Waqar Younis, the coach, why Umar was not batting in the top order. "I was only curious about IK"s experience playing against India," he explained.

It"s worth mentioning that Umar Akmal had been chastised by the team"s administration for apparently complaining to previous captain Imran Khan about being moved up the batting order.
