Pakistan cricketer Umar Akmal has landed himself in trouble one more time, and the reason is again his tongue doing the talking.

As per reports, Umar misbehaved with a trainer after failing the skin-folding fitness test at the National Cricket Academy. Umar had asked the trainer to show him where is the fat and removed his clothes. 

His elder brother, Kamran Akmal has defended his brother saying Umar was joking and didn't mean to offend the trainer. “Umar and Yasir have studied together and are friends so I think whatever Umar said was in a lighter mood and he didn’t have any intention to misbehave with anyone,” Kamran said on the GSports show on GTV News Channel.

There is the probability that he may get banned for the next domestic tournament of Pakistan. “Umar could find himself banned from playing in the coming national one-day championship,” the source said.

Kamran said his brother was not serious when he tried to mess with the trainer in a friendly manner. “But as usual this incident has been overblown in the media. Because Umar didn’t do anything intentionally. He was just joking,” said Kamran.

“But if the PCB feels in its inquiry he has done something wrong they should caution and reprimand him. He can also apologize but a ban would be very harsh,” he said.

The veteran Pakistan wicket-keeper Kamran is also in discomfort currently because of missing two fitness tests and then failing in the one he appeared.

“Even this season I have constantly played in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy and the national T20 championship without any problems with my match fitness and I have also performed well,” said the 38-year-old. “I just think nowadays there is overstress on fitness rather than on improving match skills of players,” he added.
