Umar Akmal returns as Pakistan announce squad for West Indies T20s

LAHORE: Hard-hitting batsman Umar Akmal has made a comeback for West Indies T20s, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced on Friday.

After the 'disciplinary issues' sidelined Akmal from the national side contention since ICC World T20 in March this year, the 26-year-old's staggering performances, 302 runs at an outstanding average of 152, in the National T20 Cup strengthened his case for an international return.

Akmal scored a brilliant 115 not-out from 48 balls at a telling rate of 239 on Monday. He plundered Yasir Arafat for 34 runs in an over, hitting five sixes and a four to complete his century.
