'PCB is For Players...' - Pakistan Star Umar Akmal REVEALS Mohsin Naqvi's Misbehavior After Champions Trophy 2025 Debacle

ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Pakistan, as a cricketing nation, is going through a very hard time. After being knocked out of the Champions Trophy , the host nation did not even get the chance to host the final in their country. While Pakistan has become the butt of all jokes, veteran cricketer Umar Akmal is the latest to take a jibe at PCB, led by Mohsin Naqvi. Akmal, who has not represented the country since 2019, has claimed that he tried getting in touch with the PCB - but they behaved ‘rudely’.

‘They are behaving very rudely’

“I have all the proof I needed to show [that I have tried to contact the PCB chairman]. I have tried calling the chairman's manager and people around him requesting to meet him, but they are behaving very rudely, saying: 'We will inform you when he gives you time' and disconnecting in my face,” he said this on a local TV program. 

"Someone should tell them, the PCB is for the players and if they don't have a good relationship with the players, where will they go? I want to tell Mohsin Naqvi that your managers are behaving rudely. I have represented Pakistan too and request for a good attitude," he added.

Akmal reckons he still has 4-5 years of cricket left in him. 

Pakistan's SHOCKING CT 2025

Hosts Pakistan failed to win a single match during Champions Trophy 2025. The Men in Green lost their tournament opener against New Zealand, then they were humiliated by India. 

For India, Virat Kohli hit an unbeaten century to take the Men in Blue over the line. And then their final game against Bangladesh was washed out due to rain. 

Pakistan exited the marquee ICC event with merely a solitary point.
