Decision on Haider soon
Pakistan said Tuesday it will soon decide whether former wicket-keeper Zulqarnain Haider, who left the national team last year amid allegations of death threats, can restart his international career.
The 25-year-old Haider fled from the team hotel in Dubai for London in November saying he had received death threats from unknown people to fix a one-day match in the series against South Africa.
He applied for political asylum in UK and announ-ced his retirement from international cricket.
But after assurances from Pakistan government over his, and his family's, safety, Haider returned home last month and reversed his retirement decision.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Tuesday said it has received Haider's reply to a letter it sent last year asking him to explain his actions.
The PCB has now formed a three-member disciplinary committee to deal with the case, the body said in a statement.
The committee will start its proceedings when the Pakistan team and officials from the tour of the West Indies and Ireland early next month.
