Haider’s Pakistan return in doubt after threats

ISLAMABAD: Wicketkeeper Zulqarnain Haider is reconsidering his plans to travel back to Pakistan after claiming he received threatening telephone calls.

Haider told Geo Television on Thursday that an anonymous caller from Pakistan threatened him, saying: ”you are coming back despite being told not to come, you are responsible for the consequences.”

Haider had reportedly informed Scotland Yard about the calls and is reconsidering whether to travel to Pakistan on Apr. 24.

Last week, he revoked his application for asylum in Britain after meeting the Pakistan interior minister.

Haider fled the team hotel in Dubai last November, saying he received death threats from match fixers.
