"I got two calls making death threats to me and my family if I returned home," Haider told Geo News on Thursday.

"I have reported the matter to the police and also provided them with the telephone number from which the calls were made."

Haider said on Sunday he would return to Pakistan this week and withdraw his application seeking asylum status from the British Home Office following his allegations of death threats from a match fixer.

He led the team hotel in Dubai last November during a one-day series with South Africa, saying after reaching London that he had been given death threats by an unidentified person who wanted him to fix matches in the one-day series.

Haider later applied for asylum with the Home Office but after a meeting with Pakistan's interior minister Rehman Malik he said he was returning home after being reassured by the minister about the safety and security of his family in Pakistan.

The Pakistan Cricket Board terminated his contract soon after he fled the team hotel and also held back payment of his match fees and other dues..

"So far he has not informed the board about his plans to return home. But when he does come he will have to go through a proper disciplinary process before a decision is taken on allowing his return to cricket," the chief operating officer of the board, Subhan Ahmed told Reuters.
