PCB to impose stiff penalties on Haider

Haider was asked by the board to furnish evidence to substantiate the allegations he made recently on his facebook account against Akmal and other players, but a PCB official informed PTI that the cricketer has failed to respond to the notice by the deadline, August 30th.

"The notice was sent to him under the anti-corruption code followed by us. The board will now take the next logical and legal step in this matter, which could include penalties under the code," the official said.

Instead of responding to the PCB notice, Haider had posted another message on his facebook page, claiming that he had already provided all evidence and details to the board when he faced the disciplinary committee last year and yet the board did nothing on what he had given them.

Haider, who played one Test against England in 2010 scoring 88 runs at Edgbaston and later in a One-day series against South Africa, claimed that Akmal was included in the Pakistan team recently despite not getting any clearance from the ICC for his alleged involvement in corruption. (MORE)
