I can always report his account to Facebook management right :umarakmal
All Pakistanis do the same to suspend his account that is the only way we can get rid of him.

I spoke to someone VERY close to Zoni last week.
This is apparently MUCH bigger than any of us realise.
The scandal goes all the way to the top (including several PCB officials) and the current coaching set-up. And rather than stating who is involved from the team, it is easier to state who isnt - Misbah and Younis.
As for Zoni, he has been to the UK before and played club cricket combined with small cash-in-hand jobs. He knows that the roads in the UK arent paved with gold, and knows he will enjoy a MUCH better standard of living in Pak than he ever would in the UK. Yet he still wants to come... what does that say about his motives?
As soon as he gets his asylum, his contact told me it will all come out. And that Mr Butt & Co are all shitting themselves at the prospect.

With all due respect, sir - Zoni is the only one who destroyed his own credibility.
If he had such knowledge, then the best thing he could have done was to go to the ICC HQ and revealed all over there. Not run away to England seeking political asylum.
) this should be good to watch
*gets popcorn and a nice view*
Let The Movie Begin !![]()
has faced bigger cases and issues than zulqarnain. I dont think he will be worried.
not so easy BL!!
he has to think about his family, they were in danger from the so called underworld.
if he did reveal everything, then surely someone would have been in danger as his confessions might have been fact.
Apparently, it the cricket cirruption goes all the way to Butt Sahib (and possibly higher), hence why Zoni couldnt take the team management into confidence when he split in the Middle East.
That didnt surprise me. What did shock me was that Mssrs. Waqar, Afridi and Mullah Moyo are alleged to be deeply involved too.
But it just seems more and more like he did it all for asylum. Thats my humble opinion on the matter.
BS- The truth is that Zoni took some money from the fixer but later can not finish the deal. If according to your theory all the players and the management are involved then why the hell they brought Mr. Clean Zuliqarnain into the team. They could have easily selected one of the corrupt WK.
Political asylum in the UK isnt what it was a decade ago, where you got free housing, loads of benefits, etc.
It has changed in recent years because UK got a deserved reputation as a soft touch.
Firstly, they have made it much harder to gain asylum with only 15% of cases in 2010 successfully approved.
Secondly, they have made it very difficult to bring your family over - even if your appeal is successful. That means it could be years before Zoni sees his family.
Thirdly, Zoni wont be allowed to work. And he will get a rubbish property (compared to what he is used to in Pak). And he will only have the most basic (and paltry) benefits available to him.
UK is still the destination of choice for ill-educated asylum seekers from the villages, who have little prospects back in Pak.
But not for someone successful like ZH.
I was giving you Zoni's version. I didnt say whether I believed it or not.
I wish I hadnt bothered now.
Then what other reason can you provide for his escapade?
I wish you hadn't bothered either.
Maybe he does know something, but if he wants to fix the system or do something good, then he should do it. Don't make posts on facebook, don't give idiotic comments like things will be revealed in 4 days etc.
It does not help his cause by getting other people(like yourself) to be his mouthpiece on PakPassion, because you don't have anything to report either.
We really don't need this
RD - I am a 100% sure given ICC's recent moves in order to protect the integrity of the game, they would have left no stone unturned to ensure Zoni and his family's safety. If he really DID want to blow the whistle, that is.
My take on the whole matter is very harsh and skeptic. I agree I do not live in Zoni's mind to understand what he was going through at that time, but his moves were childish and immature. As were his "watan maa, seniors baap" comment. As was the fact that he called up the media for safety rather than the authorities.
Again, waiting for the whole saga to unfold - I do not know what true or not, nobody does. But it just seems more and more like he did it all for asylum. Thats my humble opinion on the matter.
BL - we don't know that fir sure that he did the whole episode for asylum, maybe his life was in threat, maybe he was getting pressurized by the 'mafia' to act or be gone. either way he must have had a very good reason to give up his cricketing career, which was also paying him handsomely. this guy gave up on all that to live in a council estate with basic benefit. something doesn't add up here....
imo he's waiting for the right time - when all is family is over, together with him, then i can see him coming out with everything...

The_Real_Deal - that is exactly what I was told. He has made a full explanation to the UK immigration authorities, but will make a full public statement (naming names) if/when he gets asylum, and brings his family over.
The reason he hasnt said anything to date, as I am told, is because he may still have to return to Pak if his application for asylum is turned down. If that happens, he obviously cant be seen to have named names or his life would be in even greater danger.
As his 'friend' said to me, if it was all about money and fame, then why has Zoni already turned down hundreds of thousands of pounds from the British tabloid media to fling yet more mud onto our country?
What's with the third-person approach to his updates?
![]()
when is his asylum decision expected to come through?
takes a while, no dates confirmed. but im sure its gone past the 1 month allowed? or do they allow you 3 months?
There is a massive backlog, so can take nearly a year. And then there is the long appeal process if it is rejected...
I dont think we'll hear much for quite some time.
KARACHI: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has vowed to go all-out in its defence in case of a possible legal action taken by former wicket-keeper Zulqarnain Haider. Haider left a message on his Facebook page yesterday, planning to take legal action against the PCB and the members of the inquiry committee for casting doubts on his mental well-being.
“zulqarnain is ready now 2 sue pcb about mental illnes report and on all inquiry peoples,” wrote the wicket-keeper who fled from the team’s hotel in Dubai during the One-Day International series against South Africa in November. Haider claimed to have received death threats from match-fixers and sought asylum in the UK.
The incident was followed by the PCB forming a fact-finding committee to inquire the reasons for Haider’s desertion. The committee submitted a report in which it stated that Haider had a weak personality which might have led to the incident.
PCB ready to defend case
Meanwhile, the PCB legal advisor Tafazzul Rizvi said the board would leave no stone unturned in its defence.
“The PCB is ready to defend any charges,” Rizvi told The Express Tribune. “After successfully defending the case we will seek damages from the wicket-keeper besides filing a defamation case against him.”
The lawyer, however, expressed surprise over what grounds Haider will file a case in a Pakistan court.
“Initially I was surprised to see Haider’s message because he will be filing a case in a country that he has deemed insecure for himself,” said Rizvi.
“Haider himself is a fugitive who broke discipline and put the team in trouble by fleeing away. How can he file a case against the PCB,” said the legal advisor.
Rizvi was also sceptical if Haider’s plans held any value since the report was revealed weeks ago.
“The timing of his comment is also surprising. Why did he think of taking action now when the findings of the committee were revealed weeks ago.”
‘Tactics to gain media
attention’
While Rizvi seemed confident, a top official said that frequent messaging by the wicket-keeper is just an attempt at gaining attention from the media.
“We will not comment until Haider takes any action,” the official told The Express Tribune.
“First, he says that he will announce the names of players he believed were involved in match-fixing and now this.
“Till now all he’s done is talk and not taken any action so we cannot take it seriously. Maybe these tactics will help him in his asylum case.”
Haider, who has applied for asylum in the UK and is currently residing on a temporary residence permit, has also claimed that the PCB is withholding £15,000 in wages although the PCB is yet to get a formal notice over the issue.

I am more inclined to believe is that he realised his time in the team will be limited on account of his dismal performances with the bat and gloves in the ODI series and becoming martyr for clean cricket can bring him fame and secure his future better than what he could playing cricket at home on the domestic circuit.
Giving up a fledgling but potentially lucrative international career and a stable Govt job is not an easy decision.
And for what?
A ruined career, loss of earnings, estrangement from his young family, poor standard of living, and some very powerful enemies for him and his family.

Why do people get so aggressive? I am merely reporting some titbits Ive heard, though can not vouch for its authenticity. I dont necessarily agree with it, but IMO it certainly adds to the debate - hence the reasons for posting it.
All I can confirm is that the source is indeed extremely close to Zoni.
