"There is no swelling at all. He is perfectly all right," team manager Intikhab Alam said. "We just want to make sure that everything is okay, that's why I sent him to get an X-ray and scan also. It's cleared and he is okay.
"We are resting him for precautionary measures. He got injured on his right index finger when he was fielding yesterday."
Akmal has been second highest scorer for Pakistan with 167 runs in four World Cup Group A matches so far played after Misbahul Haq, who has scored 192 runs in the same games.
