Umar Akmal Biography

One of the most promising batsmen to emerge from Pakistan in the 2000s, Umar Akmal is an aggressive batsman who can destroy any bowling line-up of the highest quality on his day. Though not a prime wicketkeeper, he has been known to put on the ’keeping gloves and pads on occasion with moderate success, especially in the shorter formats.
 
Unfortunately for Pakistan, the youngest Akmal — his elder brothers Kamran and Adnan (all of whom are cousins of Babar Azam) are also wicketkeeper-batsmen who have played for Pakistan — goes through the same ailment that surrounds the rest of the team: inconsistency. A dashing century on Test debut and one in only his third ODI — both in 2009 — promised for a sparkling future. 
 
Unfortunately, years into his international career his Test and ODI averages hover around the 35-mark. In T20Is, Umar has also made a mark with occasional blitz.
 
Of course, it cannot be denied that Umar has had a rough career. Apart from the periodicals spats with the PCB, he has also faced arrest due to beating up a police officer, and was booked for serving too many items of food at his wedding. 
 
Umar was once regarded as a revelation for Pakistan after impressive numbers in his Ubder-19 days. He was from the same batch as Virat Kohli and his current national skipper Sarfraz Ahmed, but failed to match them going forward in the national setup. His viral video of asking Imran Khan for promotion up the batting order, to No. 3, also dented his image. 
 
He was recalled for the 2017 Champions Trophy. For once it seemed things were finally coming Umar’s way. Unfortunately, he was forced to return home after he failed the pre-tournament fitness test. 
 
One feels that a more level head and a calmer temperament will go a long way in helping Umar climb the pedestal from being a decent player to being a great one.
