Pakistan's Akmal slapped with fine

Pakistan batsman Umar Akmal has been fined after breaking team curfew ahead of the fifth and final one-day international against Australia.

Akmal was fined 20 per cent of his match fee and received an official reprimand for a late night out ahead of Sunday’s match in Dubai, the Pakistan Cricket Board has confirmed.

The 28-year-old pleaded guilty to the charge and accepted the sanction, the PCB said.

He had been recalled for the first time in two years for the series against Aaron Finch’s team, his first appearance for his country since being sent home from Pakistan’s 2017 Champions Trophy campaign for failing fitness tests.

"I am glad that Umar has realised his mistake, and has accepted and apologised for his actions, which were clearly unprofessional and in no way can be ignored or overlooked," PCB managing director Wasim Khan said in a statement.

"The PCB expects a high level of professionalism and commitment from its players, and this action is a reiteration and timely reminder that any indiscipline shall not be tolerated or accepted."

Australia sealed a 5-0 series whitewash on Sunday, with Akmal appearing in all five matches, posting scores of 48, 16, 36, 7 and 43.
