Umar Akmal, who's known for his notorious self, is confident that there was nothing wrong his discipline or attitude, which played part in his eclusion from Bangladesh tour.

While talking to PakPassion.net, the 24-year-old Pakistani cricketer commented on if he was actually dropped for alleged breaches of discipline and having a poor attitude as stated in Waqar Younis' World Cup report, submitted to the PCB.

He said that he couldn't comprehend where the talks about his attitude came from, for he had never shown anyone any attitude and had always tried to focus on the sport.

Akmal added that it was disappointing that the report was leaked publicly, even if Younis or someone else did mentioned something regarding his attitude there.
