ICC offers help to Haider who fled to London

Dubai: The International Cricket Council (ICC) will help Pakistan wicket keeper Zulqarnain Haider, who fled from the team  hotel room following  a death threat.

Haider, who hit the winning run in the fourth One-day match of the Cool & Cool One-day cricket series, is in London.

The ICC has confirmed that it is in regular communication with the Pakistan Cricket Board and has offered to support the PCB in investigations into the reasons behind Haider's decision to leave the Pakistan team on the morning of the final ODI against South Africa in Dubai.

The ICC has also offered help to Haider, who left the UAE for London.

ICC Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat said: "Clearly this is in the first instance a team matter for Pakistan cricket but the ICC is willing to provide assistance to the PCB and the player. We understand his plight if reports are indeed true, but we can only help if he is willing to engage with us."
