WATCH: Pakistani batsman Umar Akmal has a HILARIOUS explanation for his weight gain

Pakistani cricketer Umar Akmal has this unique habit of getting trolled for his hilariously comments. Very recently he was mocked on social media for asking scribes to not compare him with Indian skipper Virat Kohli as the latter doesn't bat down the order. And now after not finding a place in the Pakistan team for West Indies tour, a particular Akmal reaction is creating laughter storm.

The batsman blamed his genes after being dropped from the West Indies tour. While talking to Waqt News, the middle-order batsman said that he and his brother Kamran Akmal are prone towards weight gain, no matter how much they control their diet. “Even if we only drink water, it increases our weight,” he said. “Only our brother Adnan has a biological system which does not show his heavy diet on his body."

Akmal said that he has been on a BBQ diet for the last two days. “Along with that I am only taking salads and water but even this shows on my body,” Akmal said.

The junior Akmal is the only player who was not selected for the upcoming tour because of lack of fitness. Meanwhile, his elder brother Kamran has made a comeback in both the T20 and ODI sides after impressive performances in the Pakistan Super League.
