I will reveal everything just after a couple of more days: Zulqarnain Haider
It appears as if Pakistan’s deserter wicketkeeper, Zulqarnain Haider, just cannot stay out of the limelight. A few days back he startled the world by warning to spill out the names of the people involved in match-fixing in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 within five days. He gave
this warning by posting it on his facebook page.
Well five days have gone by and Haider has updated his facebook, this time claiming to be quiet because his family has been getting threatening calls ever since he updated his facebook status last week.
In his latest facebook comment, the former Pakistani wicketkeeper says that he will reveal everything after a couple of more days and explains that he is only quiet because of the threatening calls that his family has been receiving recently; Haider has
written that the Pakistani government needs to give protection to his family.
Haider’s new statements are confusing for many, because initially he pledged to disclose all who were involved in match-fixing but now is showing weakness due to the fact that the well-being of his family is at stake.
Haider should have calculated the repercussions of his claims well before he decided to unmask the culprits within five days. If Haider keeps up making only statements without any proof, he is going to lead the people into believing that he is yet another
guy looking to get some fame out of the match-fixing scandal.
The threats that were being received by his family were so severe that now Haider’s wife wants to join her husband in London, because she feels insecure in her native country; Haider’s wife now fears for the safety of her children because she claims that
the voices on the phone told her that they know where her kids study and it will not be difficult for them to harm her children.
Haider, has perhaps stirred up a hornets’ nest, and now it is going to be a suitable thing for him to end what he has started. He needs to stop playing hide and seek and should come out clean with evidence if he has any.
The former wicketkeeper will be doing the world of cricket a great favour if he manages to identify the corrupt elements in cricket. But for now it seems as if Haider isn’t thinking things through properly, he seems to be confused about the whole fiasco.
One day it looks as if he is finally not afraid and is going to spill everything out, but the very next day he looks like a scared mouse who has nowhere to run or hide.
Haider needs to gather courage and take the final step of disclosing the culprits, otherwise the longer he takes to intimidate the match-fixers, the more his family will likely suffer from the threats which might ultimately not remain merely as threats.
