Kamran Akmal has shared his disappointment after his brother, Umar Akmal, was not included in the PSL auction list even though he had registered for it.
In a post on X, Kamran questioned the fairness of the selection system. He directly tagged PCB, the PSL management, and PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi, asking why Umar was left out. His message suggested that he believed the process was not transparent or fair.
Former cricketer Basit Ali also spoke out about the issue. He criticized the decision and said that Umar Akmal’s talent should not be ignored. According to Basit, experienced and skilled players deserve proper opportunities, especially in a competitive league like the PSL.
The decision quickly became a topic of discussion on social media. Many fans supported Umar Akmal and agreed that he should have been given a chance in the auction. They argued that he still has the ability to perform well and contribute to a team.
However, others disagreed and pointed out that Umar has not been very active in recent domestic cricket. Some fans said that regular performances and consistent participation are important factors in player selection. They believed that selectors may have considered current form and recent match appearances before finalizing the list.
The situation has once again raised questions about how players are shortlisted for the PSL auction. While no official explanation has been given, the debate shows how closely fans follow selection decisions and how strongly they react when well-known players are left out.
