KARACHI: Accused of match-fixing,
Pakistan’s wicketkeeper-batsman Kamran Akmal, on Sunday said he is not bothered
by the allegations and is focussing on his game to give his best in the World
Twenty20 championship beginning April 30 in the West Indies.

The
former Pakistan vice-captain said at the National Stadium that such damaging
reports are being spread by elements seeking to destabilise Pakistan cricket.

“These false reports do not bother me and I will continue to focus
on my game. I want to give my best performance for my country,” said the
Lahore-based Akmal who is in Karachi to feature in the National Twenty20
championship which began on Sunday.

However, Akmal made it clear
that he might consider suing the media organisations which accused him of being
involved in match-fixing.

“It is a huge allegation and I will decide
on my response after discussing the issue with my lawyer and the Pakistan
Cricket Board.”

Media reports over the last couple of days have
suggested that Akmal and experienced Pakistan all-rounder Rana Naved-ul-Hasan
are under investigation for match-fixing.

Rana Naved has also
strongly denied the accusation and has threatened to take legal action over the
issue.
