Zulqarnain Haider urges fellow cricketers to take a stand on pure cricket

Pakistan wicketkeeper Zulqarnain Haider said yesterday that he was taking a stand against corruption in cricket and hoped other young professionals would be inspired by his example.

Haider fled the Pakistan team in Dubai to take asylum in Britain after receiving death threats from an alleged match-fixer against him and his family if he did not comply with their orders.

"I need to suggest to all the players, all my teammates and all the world players, they need to make a good stand for good cricket," the 24-year-old told BBC radio.
