Subject : Akmal fined for ignoring umpires
Umar Akmal has been fined 50 percent of his match fee for ignoring
both on-field umpires while going for
a change in gloves during Pakistan's
semi-final against Sri Lanka in
Colombo. There was no hearing as
Akmal pleaded guilty and accepted the sanction to the charge laid by
umpires Simon Taufel and Rod Tucker. Jeff Crowe, the match referee, said: "In
this incident, Umar showed blatant
disregard to both the umpires'
requests, which was offensive and
unacceptable from an international
cricketer and contrary to our unique spirit, hence a level two charge was
laid." "Respect for the umpires is integral
and is something which we always
emphasise and encourage," Crowe
said. "Umar, when pleading guilty,
apologised and regretted his action." The incident happened in the 17th
over of Pakistan's chase when Akmal
was at the non-striker's end. Akmal
remained unbeaten on 29 as Pakistan
fell short by 16 runs
no likes.
