'''Mansoor Akhtar''' (born 25 December 1957) is a Pakistani former [[cricket]]er who played in 19 [[Test cricket|Test matches]] and 41 [[One Day International]]s between 1980 and 1990. In his Test career Mansoor scored one century and three half-centuries, with a highest score of 111 against Australia in Faisalabad. In his ODI career he failed to even record a half century and took only two wickets.<br />
<br />
At the age of only 19 he partnered [[Waheed Mirza]] in a [[List of first-class cricket records#Highest partnerships|world record opening stand]] of 561 on 7 and 8 February 1977 while playing for Karachi Whites against Quetta at National Stadium, Karachi.<ref>Wisden 1978, page 1024</ref> The partnership is still the best for the first wicket in [[first-class cricket]], and took just six and a half hours.<br />
<br />
On 7 August 2019, Mansoor Akhtar, along with one other person named Ramesh Gupta from India, was alleged to have approached Pakistani cricketer [[Umar Akmal]] for [[Betting controversies in cricket|match fixing]] during the second edition of the [[Global T20 Canada]] tournament. Akmal, however, reported the approach to the [[Pakistan Cricket Board]] and tournament officials. Anti-corruption officials instructed all participating teams to stay away from Akhtar and Ramesh Gupta. Mansoor Akhtar has admitted meeting Umar Akmal, but hasn't admitted to the allegations of fixing.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.crictracker.com/global-t20-canada-2019-former-pakistan-cricketer-mansoor-akhtar-approaches-umar-akmal-for-match-fixing/|title=Global T20 Canada 2019: Former Pakistan cricketer Mansoor Akhtar approaches Umar Akmal for match-fixing|date=2019-08-07|website=CricTracker|language=en-US|access-date=2019-08-07}}</ref><br />
