So… He returns back to home… I don’t know he should be called as “Subha ka bhoola” or “Laut k budhoo” but I have some serious reservations on the whole story. I really doubt that the story can be that simple. It is actually too simple to be believed.
He left for London few months back when he had achieve a confirm place in the team because of his exceptional match-winning performance against South Africa and poor performance of Kamran Akmal. It was Zulqarnain’s dream place as he worked really hard to be the part of Pakistan’s national cricket team after death of his mother. He wanted to be a proud son of his mother who passed away when he was 12 and his father who was patient of Hepatitis C when he made test debut. Someone really insane could make such mistake and we proved that he was not sane.

He says, “I think no one will put his future on line and there were some reasons when I left the team and went to Britain."
Whereas the disciplinary committee of Pakistan Cricket Board opines, “Haider had a complex personality, was a "weak nerve" person and "a person who is easily convinced into believing whatever is said to him."

Zulqarnair is a typical Pakistani cricketer who is mentally very tough when he is in the ground and can win the game easily even if it looks difficult apparently. But he was weak in handling matters outside the field. I believe, it was the responsibility of the board to handle the issues which were highlighted by Zulqarnain. Pakistan cricket board should have handled the case by assuring him that he will not be penalized for anything he has not committed and by escalating the cases of match fixing to International Cricket Council instead of threating him to face disciplinary committee and to face the consequences. Everyone knows that bookies have a role in international cricket and they are hardly visible. In Sarfaraz Nawaz’s words, bookies killed Hansie Cronje who fixed matches and then told the truth to the media. If this is the case then how can we accept that a person with Zulqarnain’s background can remain cool and calm? He will either get involved in fixing or will run away from a place which hurts his life and his dreams.
He was weak, no doubt but do you think, he really to be away from international cricket, fame, world cup and especially his family.
If the answer is NO, then PCB has to listen to him and take action to save future of Zulqnain and Zulqnains of future instead of having apathetic attitude towards heroes of Pakistan by saying “he was a weak nerve person”. I expect that PCB will not test their own players’ nerves anymore and will resolve the matters instead.
