Fact-finding committee submits report on Haider controversy

The PCB's three-member fact-finding committee has submitted its final report on investigations into Zulqarnain Haider's controversial flight from Dubai to London during the series against South Africa. The PCB declined to make further comments after the committee - comprising team manager Intikhab Alam, the board's security manager Major Najam Javed and senior official Subhan Ahmed - finalised its report.

Haider, who had played a match-winning hand in the fourth one-dayer on November 5, disappeared from Dubai ahead of the final match and surfaced in London. He later confirmed later that he received threats from unidentified people following the fourth match and was told to get in line for the decider. As a result of the threats Haider announced his retirement from cricket. The ICC's Anti-Corruption and Security Unit got in touch with Haider, but the world body will wait for the PCB to finish its probe before launching its own investigation into the issue.

Haider has, meanwhile, updated his Facebook page with a message saying he plans to expose "those who have taken money", following which his family has reported receiving phone calls threatening of dire consequences.
