Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Born on 26 May 1990, Umar Akmal is the youngest of the three brothers who have represented Pakistan in International cricket. His elder siblings Kamran and Adnan have represented Pakistan as wicket-keepers and Umar himself is a part-time keeper.
A sparkling hundred(129) on debut at Dunedin against the likes of Shane Bond and Daniel Vettori and an ODI hundred in his 3rd game had got cricketing pundits going gaga over his attractive and attacking style of batsmanship. But lack of form and indiscipline off the field have been a major hindrance for the uber talented youngest Akmal.
Here is a short list of controversies he has been a part of:-
**On the 2009-10 tour to Australia after Kamran Akmal had a horrendous outing in the Sydney Test, it was reported Umar had faked a back injury as a mark of protest for dropping his brother in the next and final Test at Hobart. He was later fined 2 million rupees for talking to the media about the episode without consulting the PCB.
**Umar Akmal was released from jail after spending an entire day in lock-up for allegedly thrashing a traffic warden and tearing his uniform after being stopped for violating a signal here in early 2014
**He was involved in a spat with Junaid Khan during a National Cup one day game. Both the players were reprimanded with fines and we're kept under observation by the PCB.
**After having been excluded for the tour to West Indies in early 2017 due to fitness concerns. Umar was called from England after originally being a part of Pakistan's squad of 15 players. He failed two fitness tests on successive days and was asked to go back to Pakistan.
Life on fast tracks at the international level has been more slippery than smooth for the mercurial right hander but with age on his side and knocks like that of a dazzling 94 against Australia in the 2014 T20 World Cup will keep forcing the selectors to give him that next chance. When he grabs it, will remain a question!

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Umar Akmal burst onto the international scene oozing class, and drawing the highest praise from experts. In his first Test innings, against New Zealand in Dunedin against an attack which included Shane Bond and Daniel Vettori, the 19-year-old Umar scored 129 in an innings when no other specialist batsman touched 30. His fearlessness at the crease and his wide array of strokes had pundits gushing for superlatives, as throughout that series and on the tour to Australia which followed, Umar consistently got starts. Given that he had also scored a century in his third ODI, and that Pakistan were on the lookout for middle-order talent, it appeared Umar would be a certainty in the team in all formats for several years to come.
Sadly, the second chapter of the Umar story hasn't been as perfect. His form deserted him in 2010, and he didn't help his cause by getting into trouble with the authorities: in June 2011 he was issued a showcause notice for giving unauthorised interviews to the media. Soon after, he was dropped from the Test side for the series against Sri Lanka in the UAE, with the selectors suggesting that he return to domestic cricket and rediscover the ability to bat long periods and score big hundreds. With age on his side, though, Umar still has plenty of time to get his international career back on track.
