Pakistan Cricket Board's inquiry committee has recommended a three-match ban and a fine on Pakistani batsman, Umar Akmal after finding him guilty of breaching three clauses of the players code of conduct. A reliable source aware of the developments told PTI today that the inquiry committee headed by Director Cricket, Haroon Rasheed had recommended a three-match ban and fine on Umar and also suggested suspending issuance of NOCs for foreign leagues for a certain period.

"The committee after interviewing Umar and others found the batsman guilty of breaching three clauses and it has now sent its recommendations to the PCB Chairman, Najam Sethi for further action," the source said. Umar had an altercation with Pakistan's head coach, Mickey Arthur at the national cricket academy last month over practicing there. He later alleged in the media that Arthur had abused him. The source made it clear that the inquiry committee which also included the legal advisor of the board had only focussed on deciding whether Umar breached clauses of his players code of conduct.
