Umar Akmal Disappointed in Zulqarnain Haider’s Post-Recovery Behavior
Umar Akmal, a well-known Pakistani cricketer, has shared his feelings about Zulqarnain Haider’s recent actions after recovering from illness.

Umar Akmal, a well-known Pakistani cricketer, has shared his feelings about Zulqarnain Haider’s recent actions after recovering from illness. The two players had a complicated history, but Umar once stepped in to help Zulqarnain during a tough time. In 2022, Umar visited Zulqarnain when he was very ill and even gave him financial support. Umar Akmal says he did this because he believed it was the right thing to do, especially after his wife encouraged him to help.
However, Umar now feels let down. He says Zulqarnain has started acting in a way that they had previously discussed and which Umar hoped would change. Despite his disappointment, Umar has chosen to stay positive and not hold any hard feelings. He mentioned that he decided not to take legal action against Zulqarnain because he understands Haider’s financial struggles. Umar believes that showing kindness and patience is better than creating more problems.

Their friendship seemed to get better in 2022 when they tried to make peace after many years of conflicts. Zulqarnain once accused Umar of hurting his cricket career, which caused a big fight between them. Zulqarnain also drew attention and criticism when he suddenly left the Pakistan team during a tour in Dubai in 2010, saying he felt his safety was at risk. Although he later returned to cricket at the domestic level, he could not get back into the national team.
Umar is upset because Zulqarnain’s recent behavior does not match the kind person he once supported. Despite his disappointment, Umar says he still believes in seeing the good in people. He hopes Zulqarnain will change his ways and realize the importance of friendship and respect.
As of now, neither Zulqarnain Haider nor the Pakistan Cricket Board has responded to Umar’s comments. This story shows how complicated relationships can be in sports and how even after forgiveness, old feelings and differences can resurface. Umar’s message reminds everyone to stay kind and patient, even when others don’t act the way we expect. We hope Zulqarnain improves and that both players find peace and happiness in their lives ahead.
