After losing out in the final of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022, Pakistan were praised by experts for their good show. Still, some fans and critics went after the side and were very critical of their performance. One such name was former Pakistan wicketkeeper batter Kamran Akmal who condemned the side.

On his YouTube channel, Akmal made some remarks about the team which didn't go well with Pakistan Cricket Board's chairman Ramiz Raja. According to the report, he has been served a legal notice by the board for his comments.

A source close to the board revealed that the board is unhappy because his statement was seen as baseless, derogatory and insulting. The source also mentioned that the PCB's apex body has made it clear that no one from now onwards will be allowed to make such comments on the national team.

"I don't know exactly what charges they have made against Kamran but apparently the legal notice has been sent because the chairman feels Kamran made defamatory, false, and offensive comments in the media about him,

"Some of them clearly cross the line while criticising the team, management, board and chairman and Ramiz has made it clear he is not going to tolerate anyone running down or defaming Pakistan cricket anymore.”

Moreover, some ex-players could be under the radar and they might also receive notice in the forthcoming days.
