Some Indian bookie should sue him too.
one day he says he was threatened by Indian bookie and next day rehman uncle arrests 8 pakistani bookies from lahore who threatened him.
its hard to tell his lies from the truth.

Now he wants to come back, i guess he is out of retirement now. PCB should make a law, once you retire you cannot un-retire yourself. Bika hua maal wapis nahi hoga

Zulqarnain wants to make international comeback](http://dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2011\05\01\story_1-5-2011_pg2_3)

LAHORE: His international career was just one Test old when Zulqarnain Haider retired while in hiding in London and the Pakistan wicketkeeper, who has received death threats from match-fixers, wants to return to the big stage now that he is back in his country. “I may be losing valuable time by not playing cricket but I will stage a comeback,” said the 25-year-old, who returned to Pakistan earlier this week after being in London for five months citing death threats from match-fixers. “My cricket has already suffered a lot and I miss playing as I had worked very hard to get into the national side,” he added.

Besides the lone Test, the promising keeper-batsman had played just four ODIs and three Twenty20s when he announced his retirement last November while in London. Zulqarnain said at the beginning of his career, he lost his mother but continued playing because of his love for the sport. “You can understand what this sport means to me so imagine why I decided to go to London while in the national team,” he said. Zulqarnain reached his hometown Lahore on Friday and disclosed that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the ICC are conducting an inquiry into the corruption in game. “The PCB and ICC are conducting their own inquiries and I am confident those involved in cricket corruption would soon be known,” he told the media on reaching.

Zulqarnain insisted that he had taken the decision to leave the team hotel last November after giving it a lot of thought. “If I had not done what I did then I would not be in a position to say today what I am saying today,” he said. Zulqarnain fled the team hotel last year during a one-day series in Dubai against South Africa and after reaching London, said he had been threatened by an unknown person for not cooperating in fixing the series. The keeper said he was delighted to learn that the police had busted a gang of bookmakers in Sialkot and some of them had confessed to being involved in making him threatening calls.

Zulqarnain withdrew his application for asylum in England only after being reassured of his security by Pakistan’s Interior Minister Rehman Malik. “I really don’t know why I was targetted by the bookmakers. But I think the stance I took against corruption is equally important as playing for Pakistan,” he said.

PCB has forced players to come out of retirement, so they are not above such players morally

I strongly feel that he should never ever be allowed to play for Pakistan again.

Zulqarnain Haider makes Pakistan retirement U-turn

Haider made 88 against England in his only Test Pakistan wicketkeeper Zulqarnain Haider has reversed his decision to retire from international cricket.
He fled Pakistan’s team hotel in Dubai and came to England in November after claiming he had received death threats for not taking part in match fixing.
Haider applied for political asylum but changed his mind and returned to his home country on 24 April.
“I have decided to take back my retirement decision in the national interest,” said 25-year-old Haider.
He added that it was also “because I want to revive my career”.
Haider came to England after claiming that he was asked to help fix two games against South Africa, who Pakistan were playing in a one-day series at the time.
He threatened to “name and shame”](BBC Sport - Cricket - Pakistan's Zulqarnain Haider 'to name corrupt players') players he believed were involved in cricket corruption.
Haider only returned to his homeland after assurances from Pakistan’s interior minister Rehman Malik that he and his family would be safe.
“The situation is also different now from when I went to London,” added Haider, who has played one Test, four ODI’s and three Twenty20s for Pakistan.
“I want to play cricket again and now it is up to the cricket board to decide when to clear me.”
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is waiting for Haider to answer questions sent to him about his actions before he is allowed to appear before a disciplinary board.
“The committee wanted certain clarification from Haider and he will be given an opportunity to meet PCB officials only after he sends his reply,” a PCB spokesman said last month.

He should be allowed to come back ONLY and ONLY if his allegations are investigated and are proven to be true, otherwise only play county cricket.

Re: Zulqarnain Haider goes missing/ announces retirement/returns back - drama continu

Rehman Malik obviously has given him guidance on how to deal with this situation (call it chamcha, political move whatever). As a result, he has given his points to the board and ICC's anti corruption unit. So now its for them to respond. Why are they silent? Either they are still validating his claims about Akmals etc., or they don't know what to do.
Not unusual to believe that it is their incompetence.

If there are none then he should be a non-existent for Pak cricket team.

Pakistani cricketers’ and the board’s matters are so funny.. its “the most” ridiculous board ever in any sports.
So while two dramas are coming to end, when is the next one starting?
