Umar Akmal speaking about Mickey Arthur at a press conference:
"He did not give me any support and said that you are not a centrally contracted player"
"When I asked why this is the case, he asked me who did you speak to about this so I said Chief of Selectors so he told me to go and speak to him"
"But Chief Selector [Inzi] sent me back to Arthur but when I went there, he literally started to get angry at me"
"Mickey Arthur took me to Inzi Bhai's room and used abusive language towards me"
"For me this was very painful and 'sharamful' thing because I am a Pakistan player and someone starts to use swear words at me"
"This type of thing should not happen and if there is any problem on my side then I have always accepted my mistakes"
"I accepted that my fitness was not good and I'm working very hard to improve that"
"I asked for a trainer to help me but he still abused and told me off"
"He told me that I should not come to the academy"
"He said 'You should go and play club cricket and I wonder who even allowed you to come here'"
"He shouldnt abuse me like that; he isnt just abusing me but the whole nation of Pakistan"
"Look at any game and you will see that he is always abusing players"
"What is really shameful is that there were other big names sitting there who did not ask Arthur to control himself"
"Whenever I take pictures with my fans, they always say Umar Bhai please fix your fitness issues"
"Now that I am trying to fix my fitness, they wont let me do it and taking all these opportunities away from me"
"Tell me what is the reason for an academy? Its for fixing your problems"
"These swear word were used yesterday at me"
"Yesterday was time with Grant Flower for batting practice but he said we cant do this session as you are not a centrally contracted player"
"I told him that if I am not ccontracted player than I have been watching you work with other non-contracted players"
"Then he took me to MA who took me to Inzi's room and told me off"
"he said that you have failed 7 fitness tests and I agreed but in the past I have always been allowed to work with fitness trainers"
"Grant Flower was working with Salman Butt who is not contracted"
"If I have problems then where else can I work out those issues if I am not allowed to go to the NCA?"
"He did not give me any support and said that you are not a centrally contracted player"
