Umar Akmal suffers from epilepsy. But he cannot accept that. Najam Sethi, former chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), gave such explosive information.

The PCB recently sent Umar Akmal into exile for three years. Apparently, he did not immediately report to the Pakistan Cricket Board, even after receiving an offer of redress. Najam Sethi, who was PCB president from 2013 to 2016, said he got into trouble with Umar after taking over.

“The medical report confirmed that Umar suffered from epilepsy,” Najam told a television channel. We called it from the West Indies tour. When I met him, I told him it was a serious problem. You need to get proper treatment with rest. But Umar refused to accept it. Anyway, at least I didn’t go down without explaining myself first. Then we send your medical report to the selectors. The selectors pushed the ball onto the court. Because he didn’t want to interfere with his work.

Najam Sethi also alleged that Umar played selfish cricket. “She’s fine. She played by her instincts. Budd was self-centered. Not for the team, playing for you. He was out of all kinds of discipline.

He recognized that three years of exile would be a turning point in Umar’s career. Najam said: ‘I am afraid your career may end. I think his career is over. He was always out of discipline. And this type of deportation was supposed to happen. ‘
