Everyone is eagerly waiting for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, and indeed, it is creating a lot of buzz. We have curated a list of wicketkeepers who dismissed most batters in T20 World Cup history. MS Dhoni tops the list, followed by Kamran Akmal, Denesh Ramdin, Kumar Sangakkara, and Quinton de Kock.
Kamran Akmal has been named in the national selection committee. He played for Pakistan till 2017 and was also dropped from a PSL side.
Ramiz Raja and the Pakistan Cricket Board have started to act against their ex-players for their offensive remarks against the board.
IND vs PAK T20 WC: Former Pakistan player Kamran Akmal has opened up on his advice to Babar Azam and compared him to Virat Kohli and Steve Smith.
Akmal also praised India's domestic structure, which he said was also one of the reasons for the team's success.
Umar, 30, has not played any cricket since February 2020 when he was suspended by the PCB for not reporting spot-fixing approaches made to him.
Furious at the violation of its COVID-19 protocols at a hotel in Rawalpindi, the PCB said any player or official breaking the bio-bubble in future will face immediate expulsion from the Pakistan National T20 Cup.
Former India skipper MS Dhoni is second in the list with 84 stumpings in T20 cricket.
On the recent tour of England, Azam was not at his usual best as he could manage 69 runs in three rain-marred Tests and 56 runs in the two completed T20I matches.
Kamran said in the past players had been banned for short terms of three to six months and even had their fines reduced for the same offence but in Umar's case, the PCB is not even satisfied with the 18 months ban on him.
Kamran Akmal has come out in support of brother Umar Akmal, stating that the team management should've handled him better.
Akmal's comment came despite Dhoni being out of action for almost a year and Rahul successfully replacing him in limited-overs cricket.
Umar was slapped with a three-year ban from all forms of cricket by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for his failure to report corrupt approaches ahead of the Pakistan Super League.
Pakistan's discarded wicketkeeper-batsman, Kamran, expressed surprise over the outcome of the PCB hearing, held in Lahore on Monday.

Umar Akmal landed himself in controversy after making crude remarks to trainer Yasir during the skin-folding test.
