“I have personal commitments of setting up my business so I have withdrawn from the Sri Lankan Premier league as I don’t want to play anymore. The issue is I have started a business and it needs lot of time from me. So I wouldn't be able to make it to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758".
Earlier, during the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World Cup 2011, Akhtar said goodbye to international cricket after serving his country for 13 years in international cricket.
He came into Pakistan team and cemented his place in the presence of two legendary fast bowlers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Waqar-Younis-Maitla-c96193.
Akhtar started his international career in 1997, and received worldwide recognition after picking up the wickets of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sachin-Ramesh-Tendulkar-c87800 during Asian Test Championship in 1999.
However, the tear away fast bowler has been involved in countless controversies, linked with drugs, controversial bowling action, partying, disciplinary concerns, and, was known to have a stubborn attitude with team mates.
Discipline issues continued throughout his career and even during the recent World Cup he was allegedly written up for misbehaviour.
His fitness remained doubtful and he was often seen sitting on the sidelines.
Some other Pakistani stars are all set to play in the Lankan League, as they have signed an agreement with SLPL.
Akthar was going to participate in the SLPL along with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sahibzada-Mohammad-Shahid-Khan-Afridi-c87933.
