"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.
