Akmal suspended from PSL
Controversies have always surrounded the Pakistan Super League, this time Akmal was suspended by the Pakistan board for violations of their code of conduct until pending inquiry. The recent one came to light when pacer Shoaib Akhtar tweeted a picture about a Karachi Kings official using a mobile phone in the dugout during a match against Peshawar Zalmi.
The PCB is yet to respond to this allegation.
