The 26-year-old, who is currently representing Raj Kings in the T20 league, scored 63 runs his six innings with a disappointing average of 10.5. However, in a video which went viral online, Umar showed he's still the got talent in activities other than cricket.
‘Umar Akmal can return in any of the three formats’
The Lahore-born batsman, who earlier featured in a famous dance video alongside his brothers, once again showed his moves, this time in a team bus along with West Indian opener Chris Gayle.
For Umar, who recently made comeback in the national side in 20-over format, had a subpar tournament apart from his off-field activities - a big setback for his hopes of cementing a place in ODI squad ahead of Pakistan’s five-match series in Australia.

Nevertheless, it is yet to be seen if his dance moves are still good enough to convince the selectors to give him a chance to represent Pakistan in the 50-over format Down Under.
