Summary
The chances of Zulqarnain Haider signing for Lashings receded this week, after the clubs owner David Folb said bureaucratic red tape had put a possible move for the Pakistan wicketkeeper on hold. Folb met with Zulqarnain on Sunday night after returning from Abu Dhabi, where he was finalising details of the Kent clubs 2011 tour. Although the Lashings chairman says the meeting was positive, he is concerned about the wicketkeepers residential status. Zulqarnain applied for asylum in the United Kingdon after fleeing from the Pakistan squad during the series with South Africa in the United Arab Emirates last month, claiming he had been threatened by a match-fixing ring. Lashings immediately offered Zulqarnain a place in their squad for 2011, but Folb now admits the situation has become complicated.
