Mansoor had allegedly approached Akmal during the Global T20 Canada league to offer the batsman a spot-fixing deal. The former cricketer was a part of management of one of the franchises. Akmal, in turn, had reported the matter to the organisers as well as the ICC.

Richardson did not comment on the matter but is to meet Akmal in Lahore.

“We don’t know what took place in the meeting but the ICC officer had called Mansoor to the stadium and he spent over an hour with him,” a source in the PCB revealed.
