ICC won't be laying any charges on former Pakistan cricketer Mansoor Akhtar

The International Cricket Council's (ICC) Anti-Corruption Unit senior manager Steve Richardson clarified that no charge of fixing was being brought against him in a letter to former Pakistan cricketer Mansoor Akhtar. Mansoor has been cleared of fixing charges by the ICC.

Former Pakistan international Umar Akmal accused the former cricketer in 2019 of approaching him for fixing in Canada's Global T20 League.

Umar had informed the PCB's anti-corruption unit and the event organisers about the situation. Akmal was a Winnipeg Hawks' management team member, including Akhtar.

The ACU Senior Manager clarified in a letter to the 64-year-old that no charge of fixing was being brought against him.

"I am writing to inform you of the outcome of the investigation into the corrupt approach that you allegedly made to a player in October 2019," the letter read. 

"This information has previously been notified to you via WhatsApp. The investigation has now concluded, and the ICC will not be laying any charges against you. Decisions have been made, taking into account many factors however, if any further evidence comes to notice the ICC reserves the right to reopen the investigation. We would like to thank you for your cooperation with the investigation," further read the letter. 

Between 1980 and 1990, Mansoor appeared in 19 Tests and 41 One-Day Internationals.
