We all know about the Hyderabad guest house controversy in which Umar Akmal name was also involved. Umar Akmal denied his involvement in any part of that controversy, but the fact is that he was present at that guest house when the police made a raid.
The inside story of that whole incident was today once again told by a senior journalist. He works for the newspaper which broke this story. He said that despite Umar Akmal denied all the allegations but the fact is that he was part of that show.
When the newspapers broke this story this journalist got a call from the chief selector of the team and said that this was a wrong move by the newspaper as Umar Akmal was to be selected for the New Zealand tour.
Later Afridi too made a call back to the selection committee and asked them to give him Umar Akmal at any cost. Umar was facing a ban and yet he moved to New Zealand.
Another incident reported by the same journalist was told to him by NCA former bowling coach Aaqib Javed. He said that PCB brought a bowling machine which was quite expensive, but then it started malfunctioning and used to get stuck a lot.
When Aaqib acquired the reason he was told that this machine is not the issues, the issue is with the software which is pirated as the board did not allow to get the genuine software just because it was a bit expensive. They were using a cheap pirated software on a genuine machine. The people sitting in PCB are not cricket literate and as a result, the cricket standard is declining fast in Pakistan.
