    “I learnt a lot during this time and due to that mistake, Pakistan cricket’s reputation suffered badly. I ask for forgiveness from the PCB and from cricket fans around the world.”

    Akmal admitted that the ban has been a “very difficult period for him”.

    “Some people approached me but I was unable to report the same to the anti-corruption unit, due to which I had to face a 12-month ban. I couldn’t play cricket despite being a cricketer.

    “I learned a lot during this time and today I confess before all of you that that mistake brought disrepute to Pakistan cricket.”
