What visa is that guy traveling on? How could he just catch a flight to the UK' date=' especially when he has announced before hand that he’s clearly fleeing from someone/something? Have the immigration authorities there let him into the country?[/quote'] Announced on FB? U think the Media would be quick to inform UK Immigration dept, which will then pass it on to the individual officers at Heathrow and relyon a post made on Facebook

Does Kamran Akmal have a hand in this ? :winky:

Another net-colleague suggested that Kamran Akmal may be behind the threat calls to him...so that Kamran can get back into the Paki team

They are the weirdest nation of all nations on mother earth. Can you think of any nation where such drama goes ? Is there any nation where sports personalities leave their nation claiming asylum to other countries. This was widespread amongst the former east european nations. Possibly North Korea now. Even if somebody did it from other countries, they probably chose to do it just to earn money -- no where are their families threatened or are in danger.

Zulqarnain Haider reveals vortex which traps Pakistan's young blades Players are pawns in a game in which a gift becomes a gateway to entrapment and festering corruption Mike Selvey guardian.co.uk, Monday 8 November 2010 Zulqarnain Haider fled to London from Dubai after allegedly receiving threats for not throwing a one-day game against South Africa. Photograph: Jon Hrusa/EPA When Zulqarnain Haider took his passport and his bags, quietly shut the door on his hotel room and left to catch an early flight from Abu Dhabi to London, he may have begun the process by which there can be a greater understanding of the turmoil that underpins Pakistan cricket. A couple of days earlier Haider had held together the back end of the Pakistan innings and taken them to another thrilling win in their series against South Africa, the second such in four matches, that meant the rubber was still alive going into today's final match, which was won by South Africa. Apparently, if Haider is to be believed, it was not meant to be like that. Pakistan were supposed to lose and did not: Haider was the young man who made that so and now was being seen as culpable. He felt vulnerable. So he asked for protection for his family in Lahore, announced his intentions, or at least the motivation for his actions, on Facebook and hightailed it, his team management none the wiser until he failed to show up for the match. Thus was started the latest chapter in the saga of fixing that has blighted the game in Pakistan for the last two or three decades, anecdotally at first before being shown to have rather more substance than many wanted to believe. Haider is just the latest of what must be numerous young Pakistan cricketers who have been complicit in, an observer of or unwilling dissident (as Haider would seem to be) to illegal practices in international cricket matches. Last summer, of course, came the sting. The News of the World, with its well-practised subterfuge, gained evidence that the bowlers Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif would deliberately bowl no-balls specifically to order, something that indeed happened. The bowlers and the captain, Salman Butt, were suspended pending investigations by the Metropolitan police, the Pakistan Cricket Board and the ICC's Anti-Corruption and Security Unit. That situation pertains. Yet, clear-cut as it may have seemed, the case against those three may not be quite so straightforward. It is highly likely that, beyond the three being givenmoney by the fixer caught in the sting, Mazhar Majeed, a fellow acting as agent for Butt, there was no financial gain to anyone from their action, certainly not bookmakers. Instead it has all the appearances of someone, Majeed, flexing his muscle, showing what he could do, demonstrating the kind of control he might be able to exert for a price. This was a sampler. And just as further advertisement for his clout, he rang and woke Amir, called him "****er" and then told him that whatever it was he had called for could wait. In other words Amir and Asif were dancing to someone else's tune. Now you might reasonably ask why, if they had any sense of wrongdoing, they had not simply refused to get involved. Indeed, a further question might be, and almost certainly has been, whether this was not the first time they had done such a thing and, if not, whether previously it had carried implications beyond a bit of master-servant feudalism. To try to answer this, we need to think about the process by which a young cricketer can get involved in the first place and then sucked ever deeper into the mire. Pakistan cricketers, while not paid the stratospheric sums of their Indian counterparts, are nonetheless feted. They receive largesse and gifts – expensive gifts (Javed Miandad once received a golden, jewel-encrusted sword for hitting a last-ball winning six in a match against India) – as tokens of esteem. "You remember me," they will be told sometime in the future, "I gave you a Rolex. How do you think the team will do? What will be the side?" Harmless enough. But then the suggestions become less conversational, more specific. "We would like you to bowl a wide in the first over of the second match." The player does not want to get involved but he is told that already he is and that, unless he complies, they will blow the whistle. Or worse, there will be violence threatened, not against him, but his family. "We won't break your legs, we will break those of your sister." If you think this is an exaggeration, hyperbole, then think again. Not all attempts at match- or spot-fixing, perhaps few, involve massive personal gain for the perpetrators or greed on their part. The rewards are for others, the players pawns in the game. They are in a vortex from which they cannot escape. But perhaps Zulqarnain has evaded it and, if so, he is already a brave lad who has defied some extremely nasty people. If, as undoubtedly he will be asked to do, he tells a full and frank story to the ACSU, he will be yet braver, for his card will be doubly marked. Not many would want to be in his shoes.

He even demanded his family to be brought over to UK To Pakis Uk is what horehouse to men -- easy access, easy to get in and out, place to fulfill your needs but once its over you automatically acquire the right to b!tch n moan

[ravishingravi]

just when you think things can't get any worse

[Roshanrocks]

Haider now say he will disclose stuff later... after he is able to form a credible story :P

[achilles]

Thank you Indian Express for translating his cryptic message to English. And thank God he's okay. ICC needs to seriously suspend Pakistan from cricket for atleast a year. This is too much. What kind of people try to kill someone for winning his country a match and saving their reputation, giving his team a chance to pull off a series win, for the people of Pakistan who have no idea why the heck Younis is dropped, Yousuf is retiring, Afridi is retiring and Haider ending up in UK?

[Sachinism]

Haider announces his retirement from cricket. Quite a sad story, looked a pretty good player. Played very well in that 1 test match and that 4th ODI vs SA
