I am surprised a lot of people think this is a stint to get political asylum in UK. Political Asylum is not the big prize for an international cricketer. Zulqarnain has been going to the UK for the last 8-9 years. If he wanted, he could’ve claimed asylum any time. Asylum only makes sense for someone for whom the visa is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and who has no other way to earn a living in Pakistan.

Zulqarnain did the right thing. Knowing the situation of Pakistan cricket, and the fact that some players are still involved in it, he had only three options:

1. Throw the match as told, make lots of money.
2. Refuse to throw the match, with the risk of putting his and his family’s life and future in jeopardy. Not only that, his international career would be over too, considering how strong the mafia is.
3. Get away from cricket, keep his conscience clear (by not indulging in match fixing), and try to provide protection to his family.

He chose #3, which was the only logical choice. A lot of players have/would choose #1 (Butt, Aamir, Asif, Malik, Akmal brothers, etc).

@Applejuice

He could have also

1. taken retirement before 5th ODI (remember rashid latif and basit ali?)
2. Approached Dubai police
3. approached any official or wutever…

But this SOAP is not acceptable.. Helllooo

What you guys think if whole PCB also involve in it? I"m sure those 3rd class PCB persons are also making money.
