Wicketkeeper-batsman Kamran Akmal was the victim of a robbery as a sacrificial goat worth Rs 90,000 was stolen from his house in Lahore.
According to Cricket Pakistan, he has purchased six goats, but one of them was taken by thieves in the middle of the night.
It is understood that one of Akmal’s servants had been tasked with guarding the goats, but fell asleep at around 3am, which was when the theft happened.
The management of the housing estate’s security team was informed about what transpired and informed Akmal that they will do everything in their power to find the stolen goat.
Akmal last played for the national team in April 2017, but has been active in domestic cricket.
The 40-year-old recently featured in the Kashmir Premier League (KPL), where he scored 99 runs in five matches for the Bagh Stallions at an average of 19.80 and a strike-rate of 176.78.
Meanwhile, the Pakistan team are preparing for their seven-match T20 series against England after losing to Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup final.

The men in green will then be involved in a T20 tri-series against New Zealand and Bangladesh. All the matches will be played in Christchurch from October 7 to 14.
