PCB fine runaway keeper Zulqarnain Haider

Pakistan yesterday fined runaway wicket-keeper Zulqarnain Haider and put him on a year's probation for abandoning the team in Dubai.



Yesterday, he appeared before a three-member disciplinary committee of the Pakistan Cricket Board. "Haider accepted and apologised for his mistake in leaving the team.

The committee fined him 500,000 rupees ($5,800) and he will remain under observation for one year," said head of the committee Sultan Rana. Haider fleed the team hotel and flew to London in November, saying he received death threats from unknown people to fix an ODI in the series against South Africa. ufffd
