The 29-year-old had accused former Test player Mansoor Akhtar, who was part of the Winnipeg Hawks management, of approaching him.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He had also said that he had immediately reported the incident to the International Cricket Council (ICC) Anti-Corruption Unit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The right-handed batsman, who has featured in 16 Tests, 121 ODIs and 84 T20Is, last represented Pakistan in the home T20I series against Sri Lanka.<\/p>\r\n",
