Pakistani wicket keeper is missing, is nowhere to be seen. He is not even in his hotel room in Dubai nor has he accompanied the team in the 5th ODI versus South Africa at the Dubai sports stadium today as reported by the Geo News. This player, Zulqurnain Haider is missing since the morning of 8th November right after it was telecasted on the television that Zulqurnain had received death warnings to lose the 4th ODI match. He showed great performance in the last match by scoring the winning runs and leveling the series to 2-2. Though he slackened a bit before the match was about to end but then he pulled up his socks, and Pakistan was able to gain victory because of the last runs made by Zulqurnain. That is why the player got warning probably the people who gave the warnings had been alarmed by his performance in the last match. It is reported that he updated his facebook status, “leaving Pakistan cricket because got bad message”
Director Media of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Nadeem Sarwar clearl said it to the media that Haider disappeared without any trace. The Pakistan Team Manager, Intikhab Alam refrained from saying anything about the whole situation. As reported by the Geo News that Haider will probably leave for UK but it is sure whether he has actually left as the passports of the players are held with the management officials.
Because of Zulqurnanins sudden disappearance the team had to make changes for todays match by replacing Haider with Umar Akmal, hope the replacement works out. But the point is why did Zulqurnanin actually disappear, was the threat so severe that he wasn’t able to tell anyone except for just updating his status, or there was some other reason for leaving so suddenly. These questions are yet to be answered.
