The Lashings World XI, an English village cricket club, today issued an open invitation to troubled Pakistan wicketkeeper Zulqarnain Haider to join the Kent-based team for the 2011 season.

Haider, who retired from international cricket and seeked political asylum in Britian after fleeing from the Pakistan team hotel in Dubai on Monday after receiving death threats, could join compatriot Rashid Latif and Zimbabwean pacer Henry Olonga in the club.
