The Pakistan Cricket Board, along with Emirates Cricket Board of the UAE, is planning to launch a joint bid to host ICC events scheduled to be held in the upcoming future.
PCB chairman said that he has heard the speculations and asserted that it's not in India and Pakistan hands to have Asia Cup as other countries are also involved in the tournament.
PCB chairman Ehsan Mani said at present they don't have the legal authority to call witnesses or check bank accounts and other details to deeply probe corruption cases.
The veteran of 78 tests also said that cricket playing nations and players cannot sit at home for months and no cricket is held.
The board will now use this opportunity restructure the National Cricket Academy and domestic cricket.
The judge will now issue sanctions against Akmal which could range from a six-month suspension to a lifetime ban.
A PCB official said that while the current situation is being monitored, there will be no pay cuts in the current financial year which runs till June 30 for the Pakistan board.
PCB has said that the cricket will remain suspended during the holy month of Ramadan.
The PCB Anti-Corruption officials had charged Umar within two separate cases of not reporting an approach made to him to spot fix matches in the Pakistan Super League 5.
PCB Chief Executive Wasim Khan said that the new policy is a flexible, balanced and comprehensive one which addresses as many of the likely scenarios that the board will face.
The PCB has said that it is holding an inquiry into the matter and talking to its media rights partner.
The decision to allow centrally contracted players to apply for three foreign leagues besides the PSL is a big change from the past.
The Sindh province of Pakistan reported 42 new coronavirus cases on Monday -- three in Karachi and 39 in Sukkur. The provincial tally is now 394.
Wasim is of the view that Hafeez has nothing to do with the board's decision but he is willing to personally speak with him.
According to official sources, the PCB is set to make profits from four major commercial deals, including broadcasting and digital media.
Umar Akmal last appearance came in last October during a home T20 series against Sri Lanka and before that he also played in the March-April, 2019 one-day series against Australia in the UAE.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), however, said the PSL will continue as scheduled despite the withdrawal of the overseas players.
Sourav Ganguly had earlier said that Asia Cup will be played in UAE, with both India and Pakistan taking part in the tournament.
Umar Akmal now cannot take part in any cricket-related activity pending the investigation being carried out by PCB's Anti-Corruption Unit.
The BCCI has indicated that if the Asia Cup is held in Pakistan, the Indian team won't participate in it and the latest comments from Ehsan Mani hints at a shift of venue.
