In November, Haider fled the Pakistan team hotel in Dubai and flew to London seeking asylum, claiming he received death threats in an attempt to make him throw matches against South Africa.

The three-member committee recommended that the PCB request more information from Haider because it is unclear why the wicketkeeper quit the team and left the United Arab Emirates for London.

The committee interviewed Pakistan team members and support staff, and were told that Haider “is a person who is easily convinced into believing whatever is said to him.”
