Pakistan cricket authorities Wednesday suspended the contract of wicket-keeper Zulqarnain Haider and formed a committee to examine his fleeing from the team hotel in Dubai to London. A Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) statement said Haider breached the terms of his contract. PCB has suspended the stipend contract of Haider for violating terms and conditions and a three-man committee will look into the facts surrounding the incident regarding his disappearance, it said. The 24-year-old fled the team hotel on Monday without informing the team management. He later told a Pakistani television channel that he received death threats in Dubai after helping Pakistan win the fourth one-day international against South Africa. He made 19 not out to help Pakistan turn the tables and win the match by one wicket in Dubai on Friday.
