Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal has been included in Pakistan's World Twenty20 squad as he has got 'all clearance' from International Cricket Council (ICC), the world cricket body, informed Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Zaka Ashraf on Sunday.
Informing to media, PCB Chief said that Pak wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal has been included in Pak's World Twenty20 squad set to begin from September 18 in Hambantota, Sri Lanka.
'Kamran was considered for selection after receiving an "all-clear" by cricket's governing body,' said Ashraf.
"We wrote to the ICC to ask them if they have any reservations on Kamran Akmal's inclusion. In reply, they said the ICC has not found any evidence of wrongdoing against him and he is free to play," The Dawn quoted Ashraf, as saying.
Kamran was picked for Pakistan's World Twenty20 squad after being out of the national team for over a year. He last played during Pakistan's campaign at the ICC World Cup 2011, where Pakistan reached the semi-finals.
His younger brothers Adnan and Umar have remained a part of the national team, albeit in different formats of the game.
