Pakistan middle-order batsman, Umar Akmal, has claimed that he was approached by a former Pakistan Test cricketer with a fixing offer during the ongoing Global T20 Cup in Canada.
Umar is part of Winnipeg Hawks squad in the inaugural season of the Global T20 being played in Brampton, Ontario in Canada.
Reporter Syed Yahya Hussaini disclosed the name of the Test cricketer on his social media. He said:
Umar Akmal alleges that the Test cricketer Mansoor Akhtar made him an offer for match-fixing offer during Global T20 Canada League.
He further reported that Akmal has reported the incident to Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the administration of the Global T20.

The anti-corruption unit of the T20 league has advised Umar to stay away from such people and keep them informed in case of further approaches.
