Umar Akmal threatens to reveal the “dark secrets” of ex-cricketers who criticize him

Umar Akmal has sparked another controversy with his recent podcast appearance, where he claimed to know the secrets of former cricketers, which would have infuriated fans.

Akmal threatened the former cricketers who were criticizing him in the media to keep quiet in the name of their own reputation, lest he reveals their supposed secrets.

In his recent interview, he asked former cricket players to stop finding faults in him, while warning them to shed light on their «dark secrets». Umar Akmal said: Please, no longer humiliate me, I also have a family and I am not a child. When my family listens to someone humiliating me, they will also get hurt. So please, if you don’t want to lose your respect, just be quiet.

Furthermore, he alleged discrimination against himself and disclosed that he had refused opportunities to play in international leagues in favour of domestic cricket in Pakistan, but he was never rewarded for his sacrifices.
