Pakistan cricketer Haider Ali arrested In UK over Rape Allegations, Later released on Bail [Updated@ Post#15]

[The Bald Eagle]

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has been made aware of a criminal investigation currently being conducted by the Greater Manchester Police involving cricketer Haider Ali

The investigation pertains to an incident that reportedly occurred during the Pakistan Shaheens’ recent tour of England.

In line with its duty of care and responsibility to ensure the welfare and legal rights of all its players, the PCB has ensured that Haider Ali has received appropriate legal support to protect his rights throughout this process.
The PCB fully respects the legal procedures and processes of the United Kingdom and acknowledges the importance of allowing the investigation to run its due course.

Accordingly, the PCB has decided to place Haider Ali under provisional suspension, effective immediately, pending the outcome of the ongoing investigation.

Once the legal proceedings are concluded and all facts have been duly established, the PCB reserves the right to take appropriate action under its Code of Conduct, if necessary.

Until such time as the legal process reaches its conclusion, the PCB will not offer further comment on the matter.

 

[mango_bite77]

What are the charges ? What did he do?

 

[prash88]

Sources report that Haider Ali’s crime is that he is still playing cricket

 

[kingusama92]

Unofficial reports seem quite serious in terms of the charges.

 

[badsha001]

what did he allegedly do?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Samaa TV have mentioned he is charged with sexual assault

 

[PakFan2010]

People shouldn't be commenting on this.

 

[Major]

Another uneducated jahil bites the dust.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

People shouldn't be commenting on this.

It is in the public domain. Once you are charged with a crime it becomes public.

 

[Snowflake]

People shouldn't be commenting on this.

Of course they should be. As long as they are not claiming any false info as facts.

No harm in commenting

 

[msb314]

Samaa TV have mentioned he is charged with sexual assault

If this is true then it should be the end of his career and any association with Pakistan Cricket.

Frankly this is crime is worse then spot fixing stuff so I hope PCB doesn’t try to brush it under the carpet..

Yes I know innocent until proven guilty… but there is no smoke without fire (esp for our cricketers)

It is best to reserve judgement

 

[RidiculousMan]

You have stated a very sensible statement. The current reliable sources like PCB and ESPN, only says that Haider was under criminal investigation of Greater Manchester Police. They do not state that he has been charged of a crime, let alone convicted.

Best to tread carefully, rather than mistakenly tarnishing any Individual's rep in society.

[shamaan]

Absolute disgrace if this is true.

 

[Rana]

Always thought this bloke’s head was never in the right place especially when he was abroad.

 

[sweep_shot]

I hope it is not true.

If true, he should be banned from cricket for good.

 

[Mamoon]

Always thought this bloke’s head was never in the right place especially when he was abroad.

No you did not, that’s why you were demanding “justice” for him in 2021.

Post in thread 'Justice for Haider Ali: How is he not better than Asif Ali, Khushdil Shah and Azam Khan?'

Oct 8, 2021

Thier is stil a chance haider ali will make the squad

But it’s coming at the expense of a bogus reason. If Sohaib Maqsood is injured that is...

He has outperformed Maqsood as well in this tournament. If Masood is injured, this is the side Pakistan is likely to field:

1. Babar
2. Rizwan
3. Haider
4. Hafeez
5. Khushdil
6. Asif

• Rana

You have a great talent for always finding yourself in situations where you end up supporting fixers and criminals. Probably the only talent you have.

 

[Markhor]

Horrendous if substantiated but let's allow him his day in court.

Will give credit where it's due - that's a perfect statement from PCB. Shamarh Joseph has even more serious allegations levelled against him back home in Guyana but CWI haven't addressed it at all.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

We've seen similar accusations against Babar, Yasir Shah etc

Not saying he is innocent but we should all be careful about accusing him.

 

[Bewal Express]

Innocent until proven guilty. However, if he is found guilty, then his career is toast.

 

[Forum363]

We've seen similar accusations against Babar, Yasir Shah etc

Not saying he is innocent but we should all be careful about accusing him.

Yasir shah was clearly guilty and swept under the rug. There was plenty of evidence he did terrible things and he was allowed to continue his career.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Yasir shah was clearly guilty and swept under the rug. There was plenty of evidence he did terrible things and he was allowed to continue his career.

Also, this is becoming a bigger deal because it happened in England compared to Pakistan.

Sad nonetheless and I hope it's not true.

This is UK mate. If found guilty he will be in jail for years.

[G0rmintAunty]

Let's wait and see. If I remmeber correctly that one SL player was also charged in Aus a couple of years ago but was acquitted. The girl in question is of Pak origin However this is all sepculation. However if he is guilty though then shame on the fellow.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

As I say, never a dull day in the Pakistan 'Circus' Board.

 

[Major]

Usually what happens in these cases is, guy goes out clubbing hooks up with some chic, do it somewhere and than finds himself in a situation of not knowing the persons name who than decides to teach him a lesson by reporting rape to the police. They lock him for a night till the person takes the case back.

If thats the case, he will still be safe and not be held by the police for long. But PCB should move away from such an idiot, that involved in such act during a time when he is representing Pakistan.

Na, Yasir's international career came to an end. I liked how PCB did nto allow him back

You seem to be an expert of the player party life

 

[topspin]

Another uneducated jahil bites the dust.

We don't know what happened so best not to make comments like this.

Many women have stitched up men like this. A classic example is what happened to Neymar. Not only was he cleared but his accuser ended up being charged with fraud.

If I was you, go and learn about the Deen. If Haider Ali is innocent, you are slandering him, that too on a public forum.

One observation I have made from all these years on PP. You seem to be more keen than others when it comes to exposing the sins of others.

Go study your Deen and may Allah (SWT) guide you.

before giving speeches on Deen to me, you need preach this to Haider Ali.

These cases happen because guys like Haider Ali act out. If they stay away while on tour, such cases wont happen.

Like you are talking about Neymar in one sentence than Deen in the second sentence.

Instead of using religious rehtoric to suit your narrative, better to stay quiet.

 

[Major]

mymy, why is that every player you support ends up having a criminal charge against him, or is involved in some other immoral act.

I do not rate Haider Ali’s batting, so not sure what narrative you are referring to here.

Over the years, you have made a name for yourself with your hate filled campaigns and toxic agendas in both TimePass and on the cricketing side of PP.

This is why I’m telling you to go study the Deen because you seem to underestimate the consequences of this your actions and words.

Lastly, if you want to be blessed in life, exposing the sins of others, won’t help you.

It’s best to change your ways before it consumes you and gets too late to repent.

These are my last words. I will leave you here in peace.

Few seconds of madness can destroy someone's career and reputation. Hope justice is delivered soon.

First off, if you're a religious person then good for you. But don't go around preaching religion on a public forum, especially when you don't know the facts of the case.

You don't have to be a religious person to have basic common sense.

If the woman infact raped, you are blaming the victim. If she wasn't, you're acting like an apologist for an idiot who clearly has no brains, and did not consider the ramifications of what he was doing. Because as a cricketer representing his country, he should have known better.

If it was rape then I truly hope he is punished to the fullest extent of the law. If it wasn't rape, then that just makes him an absolute idiot who was willing to throw away his career. There is no way he comes out of this well.

Nature of incident unclear; PCB says it reserves the right to take action once legal proceedings are concluded.

Haider Ali's passport has been seized, and he is not allowed to leave the UK. He has been granted bail while the investigation is underway.

If he is proven guilty, Haider Ali's cricketing career is almost certainly over.

Way way more rape cases by rich and famous go unpunished than the other way around. In most cases even when accused is cleared, it's because it's difficult to prove such assault cases than them being innocent. Ronaldo is an example, the texts he sent etc are easy to find.

Also I am not taking sides or saying he is guilty but aren't you also doing the same thing, slandering the victim by claiming she is a liar and calling women scheming even before the trial?

Pakistan batsman Haider Ali under investigation by UK police

Batsman Haider Ali is being investigated by Greater Manchester Police after he was arrested following an incident during the Pakistan A team's tour of England, officials said on Thursday.

When contacted by Reuters about the criminal investigation into Ali, the Greater Manchester Police said in an email: "After receiving a report on Monday 4 August 2025 of a rape, we have arrested a 24-year-old man.

"It's alleged that the incident occurred on Wednesday 23 July 2025 at a premises in Manchester.

"The man has since been bailed pending further enquiries. The victim is being supported by officers."

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said Ali has been provisionally suspended for the duration of the criminal investigation.

"The PCB fully respects the legal procedures and processes of the United Kingdom and acknowledges the importance of allowing the investigation to run its due course," the PCB said in a statement.

"Accordingly, the PCB has decided to place Haider Ali under provisional suspension, effective immediately, pending the outcome of the ongoing investigation.

"Once the legal proceedings are concluded and all facts have been duly established, the PCB reserves the right to take appropriate action under its Code of Conduct, if necessary."

Ali has represented Pakistan in 35 Twenty20 internationals since making his debut in 2020 as well as two one-day Internationals.

Cricket career will be the least of his worries if guilty.

 

[Rajdeep]

This does not give good name to Pakistanis in this country. Now their cricketers are getting charged with rape will only make things worse.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

if he did rape her, the only way he can get out of this is by impregnating her and hoping she drops the case.

Mason Greenwood had actual evidence against him of rape, but it was only dropped once the victim got his seed.

 

[Rana]

mymy, why is that every player you support ends up having a criminal charge against him, or is involved in some other immoral act.

Every player you support is crap still.

 

[Rana]

if he did rape her, the only way he can get out of this is by impregnating her and hoping she drops the case.

Mason Greenwood had actual evidence against him of rape, but it was only dropped once the victim got his seed.

Apparently he told people 3 days before his arrest that he was being blackmailed by someone

If he did SA the person, then they should have reported it immediately after the incident.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

If he did SA the person, then they should have reported it immediately after the incident.

Yep, and if he did take her to a hotel and not the back of maccies then was the victim thinking she was going for some paratha aloo in his room.

 

[Rana]

Yep, and if he did take her to a hotel and not the back of maccies then was the victim thinking she was going for some paratha aloo in his room.

It’s pretty obvious that the person was hoping for something more long lasting having trapped a high profile Athlete, but knowing they had been used by them wanted to make the rest of his life miserable.

Haider’s career is over one way or another.

Poor choices.

 

[Sachin fan]

Apparently he told people 3 days before his arrest that he was being blackmailed by someone

If he did SA the person, then they should have reported it immediately after the incident.

Most real SA cases are reported late as victim takes time to process the shock, come to terms and then pick up the courage to report it after discussing with family and friends, so this is not a good argument.

Of course his lawyers etc would know things 3 days before as well.

In general, I think cricketers and other celebrities should be very cautious about just hooking up with random women as so many things can go wrong, even if they themselves did nothing wrong.

How is this pretty obvious? How did you straight jump to victim blaming without even a trial?

 

[Ball Blazer]

Innocent until proven guilty

 

[KingKhanWC]

Innocent until proven guilty

Its a very serious allegation esp as a visiting sportsman. He has not been charged, meaning there is no hard evidence atm but investigation is still pending. Rape is a difficult charge to convict, there needs to be solid evidence to prove it wasn't consensual.

 

[Abid Z]

Oh boy he is in some serious trouble

Not really. It’s about an incident 2 weeks ago. He will be interviewed under caution and then we will know. There will be analysis of texts and witnesses. Then he will be released pending further enquiries.

If he was in big trouble he would have been arrested immediately 2 weeks ago. Right now he’s just being interviewed

 

[Rana]

How is this pretty obvious? How did you straight jump to victim blaming without even a trial?

I can jump to whatever conclusion I want

 

[Rana]

Most real SA cases are reported late as victim takes time to process the shock, come to terms and then pick up the courage to report it after discussing with family and friends, so this is not a good argument.

So why is the element of blackmail involved here? He clearly told his close friends that he’s being blackmailed by someone

And how do you know most SA cases are reported late?? This isn’t India!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Dark rumors surrounding this case, hopefully not true otherwise Haider’s cricket career will be the least of his worries.

 

[Sachin fan]

So why is the element of blackmail involved here? He clearly told his close friends that he’s being blackmailed by someone

And how do you know most SA cases are reported late?? This isn’t India!

No one knows and I am not taking either sides before the trials.

But if you really want a devil's advocate point - he knew through his lawyers that he was going to be arrested soon started spreading blackmail stories to his friends rather than admitting.

Again, I won't take either side till the trial ends so above is just a hypothetical

As for SA cases being reported late, even using common sense, do you really think victims are in a position mentally and physically to report immediately? Also do you know how much courage it takes to expose to the world that you have been assaulted knowing it will become public? That happens immediately

But don't take my word for it,.there have been multiple studies and data available

Per the sources given, he was arrested and released on bail.

Its a pretty shittu thing to victim blame before the trial, of she is a victim you are victimizing her twice

 

[Rana]

Its a pretty shittu thing to victim blame before the trial, of she is a victim you are victimizing her twice

What kind of dumb argument is that?

If Haider is innocent then you are slandering him twice?!

Exactly. What’s your point? Anybody can make any allegation. We don’t know unless he’s charged.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

If he was in "no trouble" as certain people here are saying, they wouldn't have taken away his passport. People should avoid jumping to conclusions until the facts of the case have been revealed. At present, nothing is "obvious."

 

[Snowflake]

I agree with the argument “innocent until proven guilty”

You don’t have to tell me the answer but put hand on your heart and ask yourself what are the odds of Haider Ali being involved in this? Will leave it there.

Wait what am I missing? You are clearly implying that there’s just one highly likely scenario here.

I don’t see it. What’s so obvious?

 

[Sachin fan]

Exactly. What’s your point? Anybody can make any allegation. We don’t know unless he’s charged.

Bail doesn't mean he was just let go. Bail is required only to ensure he doesn't flee. Did you think bail meant - hey you are innocent, you can go?

Bail means we have reasons to arrest you but you are not at risk to commit more crimes when out so we can let you out of lockup if you post a lot of money as guarantee against fleeing. We will also seize your passport so you don't run out of the country

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Here we go again. people known for supporting rapists from a certain party are now delivering verdicts and telling others to put their hands on their hearts.

Yes I know. I’m m still waiting for you to actually have a point.

 

[Sachin fan]

Yes I know. I’m m still waiting for you to actually have a point.

You claimed he was just being interviewed and iits not a big deal otherwise he would be in jail, which is patiently FALSE

He was arrested and released on bail.

That's completely opposite of your claim. If he was just being interviewed or suspected he wouldn't be arrested and he wouldn't need bail to be out. He would be questioned without being arrested.

At this point you are just pretending to be dumb by asking the same question again and again when my point disproved your initial claim.

My point is, stop making fake claims and stop pretending to be dumb when called out.

 

[Energy]

Typical stuff. Boy went to UK boy hua deewana.

Even if this turns out to be consensual, or false charges for rape, it doesn't hide the fact that Haider is an idiot. And the only thing left for him now is stay in UK, get out of the case somehow, work at a shop, marry there and become a member of the Brit Pak society to rub in the face of his village friends back home.

 

[Pakpak]

I don’t disagree but it’s not looking good…

Like I said no smoke without fire -this story would not have appeared on Cricinfo if it wasn’t serious

Pretty poor statements. As someone who's previous career was law (in the UK) the police and CPS aren't really particular about innocence, everything is dictated by stats. If they feel they can manipulate someone in an interview and later use it they will and have done many times I know off as I have advised people about this in their personal situations many times. Which is why anyone with common sense is advised to say no comment in an interview.

Furthermore in the UK the usual time between bail and charge is 1.5 years give or take, during which time if you have kids under 18 you can't stay with them, you're suspended and your life is a ruin....without even being charged, never mind guilty. So many organisations I know off work with such people who's lives have been ruined or their families as their loved one commited suicide....before even being charged.

So stop with the nonsensical posts and let someone have their day in court.

Thanks.

First of all being a round door handle doesn’t make you any smarter.

Where did I mention it is or isn’t a big deal? These are serious allegations that will be investigated quite rightly. Until then they are just allegations.

But I did say he’s not in big trouble as yet. He’s been questioned and released pending investigation and therefore arrested and bailed 2 weeks after the event. That’s all everybody knows. How does that differ from what you are saying?

This is well said. Infact at the moment we can simply say the mere allegation is enough to keep him out of cricket for many months (unless there is incontrovertible evidence of innocence or guilt). But while he is in limbo for months his career is halted.

 

[Major]

oh not surprise the usual suspects are defending another one.

Point is, even if it was consensual, as a representative of Pakistan, getting involved in such acts looks bad.

There is no smoke without fire. Only thing that is going be looked into whether it was consensual or not.

I love how darwins natural selection gets applied here

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Just elaborating a legal point. Post arrest bail is granted on few grounds and some of them are following.
1. The accused must be released because he can't temper the evidences anymore
2. He must be released because the impugned allegations cause an irreparable damage to his reputation.

Also post arrest bail is usually granted after collection of evidences.

 

[emranabbas]

Bail doesn't mean he was just let go. Bail is required only to ensure he doesn't flee. Did you think bail meant - hey you are innocent, you can go?

Bail means we have reasons to arrest you but you are not at risk to commit more crimes when out so we can let you out of lockup if you post a lot of money as guarantee against fleeing. We will also seize your passport so you don't run out of the country

Has he actually been charged yet? Right now, it’s just an allegation. The investigation has to be completed first, the evidence reviewed if there is any, and only then can they decide whether to press charges. Do you get how the process actually works?

This is real life, not some Bollywood movie, mate.

 

[emranabbas]

You claimed he was just being interviewed and iits not a big deal otherwise he would be in jail, which is patiently FALSE

At this point you are just pretending to be dumb by asking the same question again and again when my point disproved your initial claim.

My point is, stop making fake claims and stop pretending to be dumb when called out.

In UK law, if someone is accused of rape, the process typically works like this:

1. Allegation made – The police receive a complaint from the alleged victim.
2. Investigation – This can involve interviewing the complainant, the suspect, and witnesses; collecting forensic evidence; reviewing CCTV or digital communications; and other relevant inquiries.
3. Arrest & Interview – If there’s reasonable suspicion, the suspect may be arrested or asked to attend a voluntary interview under caution.
4. Decision to Charge – Once the investigation is complete, the file is sent to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). They decide whether there’s enough evidence for a “realistic prospect of conviction” and if prosecution is in the public interest.
5. Charges Filed – Only at this point is the suspect formally charged and given a court date.
6. Court Process – This includes plea hearings, possible bail conditions, and ultimately a trial if the case proceeds.

Until the CPS authorises a charge, the person is just a suspect not guilty, not convicted.

Way way more rape cases by rich and famous go unpunished than the other way around. In most cases even when accused is cleared, it's because it's difficult to prove such assault cases than them being innocent. Ronaldo is an example, the texts he sent etc are easy to find.

Also I am not taking sides or saying he is guilty but aren't you also doing the same thing, slandering the victim by claiming she is a liar and calling women scheming even before the trial?

Please show me where I claimed the individual, who has accused Haider Ali of rape - is lying.

It's funny that you're talking about lying when you're the one here who is actually being dishonest.

First off, if you're a religious person then good for you. But don't go around preaching religion on a public forum, especially when you don't know the facts of the case.

Unfortunately, I am unable to send a private message to Major to discuss this matter privately with him. I wish I could but here we are. What I will say is, it is important to know the context before we get triggered.

The reason I felt compelled to confront and advise him on this is because I have seen a recurring pattern of him literally going out of his way to start hate filled campaigns and repeatedly post his toxic agendas. What makes it worse is the fact that he will act holier than thou and take the moral high ground.

Every now and then he will go on TP and post about the misfortune and all the struggles. Despite our differences in opinion on cricketing matters, I wish him the best and that's why I have gone out of my way to tell him to stop all this toxicity if he wants to blessed in his affairs. I know Major cares and follows the Deen, which is why I am also very selective with who I make time for.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I also pray one day your heart becomes unsealed as well.

You don't have to be a religious person to have basic common sense.

If the woman infact raped, you are blaming the victim. If she wasn't, you're acting like an apologist for an idiot who clearly has no brains, and did not consider the ramifications of what he was doing. Because as a cricketer representing his country, he should have known better.

If it was rape then I truly hope he is punished to the fullest extent of the law. If it wasn't rape, then that just makes him an absolute idiot who was willing to throw away his career. There is no way he comes out of this well.

I'm not blaming the Haider Ali nor am I blaming the accuser because we don't know what happened. It's best to keep an open mind rather than jump to our conclusions.
