Why did Zulqarnain Haider not go to his Pakistan team-mates first?

Question

I want to know why did Zulqarnain Haider not go to his Pakistan team-mates first?

Answer 1

Anyone who thinks that the News of the World's exposé a couple of months back will seriously affect the sums staked on matches, legally or otherwise, is delusional. At most, anyone involved will lie low for a few months and then start again. All that l'affaire Haider, with a plot as complicated as the ending of The Natural, has done is to drag the murky world of fixing back on to the front pages of newspapers.Haider strikes me as a most intriguing character. His Facebook friends' list includes 15 journalists that I know, most of whom he can't have met even once. In an age when many players treat the media like scum, it seems bizarre that a fringe player with a rudimentary understanding of English would be going out of his way to give access to journalists. A Pakistani journalist I spoke to describes him as a "shameless self-publicist".
