http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 tour. Akmal has been told by the selection committee that the PCB has not given clearance to the wicket keeper.
Former Captain Shoaib Malik was also left out of the squad on the same grounds.
Akmal was also dropped for the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 because the PCB did not give him clearance. The PCB’s decision has raised questions as the ICC has already cleared Akmal of all the charges leveled
on him. Akmal stated, “I am disappointed at being left out because I forwarded an email from the ICC to the PCB last month that cleared my name for selection, so I should know why I was excluded."
The new footage released, of bookie http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mazhar-c75448 Majeed, shows him stating he has Kamran Akmal under his control. Akmal has denied taking any sort of money from Majeed but admitted the bookie was his marketing agent. Akmal said,” He
was Inzamam-ul-Haq's agent, Yousuf's agent and represented several other players including Umar Gul and Salman Butt. But I have never been involved in any wrongdoing."
Malik was hopeful of his inclusion in the squad after his consistent performance in the domestic circuit. The former Captain has not played competitive international cricket since Pakistan’s controversial tour of England in February.
Expressing his dissatisfaction over the PCB’s decision, “I have performed well in the domestic season and throughout my 11-year career I have never been involved in any wrongdoing and was not even in the team when all those allegations were leveled."
The PCB’s decision to not clear Malik for the New Zealand tour has raised a lot of questions as the middle order batsmen was appointed Pakistan’s Captain in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hong-Kong-c2919 Super Sixes. Pakistan lost the tournament in the final,
to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, after a horrendous last over delivered by Imran Nazir.
Mohammad Yousaf and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Danish-Kaneria-c1314 have also been axed from the tour. Pakistan’s Chief Selector has stated that Yousaf has been dropped on the basis of his poor performance while others were not cleared by the PCB.
