Pakistani cricketer Umar Akmal has left for the US without sharing much details about the reasons for his visit, reports Geo.
In a statement, the right-handed batsman said he was leaving for the US to undertake “personal meetings”.
“If all goes well, it’s possible I will stay for a certain period of time in the US,” he revealed. “I need my supporters to pray for me, like they always have.”
Sources said Akmal took the sudden decision to leave for the US, adding that it seemed he was interested in playing cricket there.
“Umar Akmal wasn’t seeing a bright future for himself as far as international cricket is concerned, in Pakistan,” said sources.
“Chances of him playing for the national team under the current PCB management were very bleak,” they added.
A lot of Pakistani cricketers, including batsman Sami Aslam, are playing cricket in the US.
