Pakistan Cricket Board in the dark over Zulqarnain Haider’s return to Pakistan – Cricket news
The Pakistan Cricket Board can neither confirm nor deny the recent news of former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 wicket keeper, Zulqarnain Haider’s announcement that the player is set to return to his home country, Pakistan.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zulqarnain-c98682 recently caused a stir when he announced that he had been given assurances from the Pakistani government over his safety and security of his family as well and withdrawn his application for asylum in England. Yet, it seems that the PCB has been
kept in the dark over any developments in the matter.
The player disappeared during his nation’s series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c749 in an attempt to seek asylum in England after receiving threats from the match-fixing ring due to his failure to co-operate.
Subhan Ahmed, Pakistan Cricket Board’s chief operating officer said, “He has not been in touch with us so we don't anything about his plans.”
While his intentions may be noble he still has to face a hearing from the PCB before he can return to playing at the international stage. Subhan Ahmed added, “He has to first satisfy the board's committees before we decide on allowing him back into the sport.”
Haider’s contract expired during the entire saga and the hearing will be crucial in defining his future career in cricket. The PCB though remained stern in their view that Zulqarnain’s situation does not mean he is exempt nor will he receive any kind of
special treatment, as the code of conduct was the same and applied equally to every player in the squad.
This means that any plans the player will have of returning to any form of professional cricket will have to be put on hold until the matter is sorted with the PCB. The former keeper also stated that on his return he would assist authorities on how to curb
match-fixing in the modern game, after his own personal experience. Though the player concluded by stating it would be tough as players themselves are not willing to come forward.
