Zulqarnain Haider plans to take legal action against PCB
Former Pakistan wicketkeeper, Zulqarnain Haider revealed that he has planned to take legal action against his country's cricket officials for
creating doubts upon his mental condition.
Zulqarnain has sought asylum in London after leaving the team hotel in Dubai, last November, during the final One-Day international against
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, claiming that he received threats to fix match.
Pakistan Cricket Board followed the Haider's actions and, later on, some support staff members of the national team revealed that he had a
complex personality, was a “weak nerved” person and was someone who could easily be convinced into believing whatever was said to him.
Haider, on a social networking website, wrote that he "is ready now 2 (to) sue PCB about mental illness report...".
His plans include legal action against the inquiry committee, including PCB's chief operating officer, Subhan Ahmed, team coach, Intikhab Alam
and ex-security manager, Khawaja Najam Javed.
The inquiry committee talked to Haider on the telephone and submitted a report in November which recommended no action against him, while suggesting that the
PCB should write to Haider to ask about what happened in Dubai that forced him to go to London.
Recently, the wicketkeeper has said that he has run out of money. The wicketkeeper, who has allegedly lost around 10lbs in weight due to the stress, claimed
that the board was withholding his dues amounting to 15,000 pounds.
Earlier, Zulqarnain had also revealed his concerns about his family's security in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755. “I am worried about my family's security in Pakistan at the moment.
Once they reach here (London), I will definitely unearth the corruption in Pakistan cricket”, he said.
He announced that he would not play for Pakistan again. He was, however, hopeful that a deal with the Kent-based, Lashings World XI will maintain his connection
with cricket.
Lashing chairman, David Flob, has cherished the wicketkeeper, saying that perhaps two or three counties might be interested in taking him on after the clearance
of his status in UK.
“I want to pay tax and play normally here,” said Zulqarnain. "I've applied for asylum
and it all depends now on the Home Office”.
