Profile
Umar Akmal burst onto the international scene oozing class, and drawing the highest praise from experts. In his first Test innings, against New Zealand in Dunedin against an attack which included Shane Bond and Daniel Vettori, the 19-year-old Umar scored 129 in an innings when no other specialist batsman touched 30. His fearlessness at the crease and his wide array of strokes had pundits gushing for superlatives, as throughout that series and on the tour to Australia which followed, Umar consistently got starts. Given that he had also scored a century in his third ODI, and that Pakistan were on the lookout for middle-order talent, it appeared Umar would be a certainty in the team in all formats for several years to come.Umar Akmal
This 19 year old boy surprised everyone when he scored century on his debut Test against New Zealand. He received praise from experts due to his fearless approach at crease and wide array of strokes. Umar also scored century in his third ODI and it appeared Umar would be a certain member of team in all formats for several years.
But the second chapter of his story is not perfect as his form dropped in 2010 and he was axed from the Test Team. Due to his poor performance selector decided that he must return to domestic cricket and rediscover his ability to stay long at crease.
Umar Akmal was born on 26 May 1990 in Lahore Pakistan. He is younger brother of Kamran Akmal and Adnan Akmal, both are Test Crickets. Umar represented Pakistan U-19 team and earned his spot in first class cricket representing SNGP Cricket Team.
He has class, talent and skills which can make him a world class batsman but he need to work hard on his technique. He often loses his wicket easily due to lack of concentration. He is considered as the future of Pakistan Cricket. Umar Akmal is still young and he can developed himself into a perfect batsman with passage of time.
