ISLAMABAD: The father-in-law of cricketer Kamran Akmal has sent a legal notice to former wicketkeeper Zulqarnain Haider for leveling betting allegations against him.
The notice was sent trough Akmal’s father-in-law’s lawyer, Badruzaman Advocate, who told the media that his client had demanded that Haider apologise within a week or pay one hundred million rupees for leveling baseless allegations.
Haider, who was served the legal notice on his return to Pakistan, had earlier claimed that Akmal’s father-in-law had contacts with bookies.
Pakistan’s absconding wicket-keeper Zulqarnain Haider had ended his exile and returned to Pakistan on Monday, after Interior Minister Rehman Malik had assured him of proper security.
Haider had deserted the team in Dubai during the Pakistan-South Africa one-day series, fleeing to London after claiming to have received threatening messages from an unknown source. He recently also said that he would be disclosing the people who were threatening him.

Its true anyways. Akmal family has been after him since he played his first match for pakistan.Recommend
One hundred million minus the effect of Kamran Akmal’s catches in the World Cup = One hundred. Recommend
The Akmals run this as a family business!.Recommend
Akmal is afraid of haider cause if haider will be back akmal will be 100% out of team.Recommend
dude …. if this is true .. akmal family should be banned for life from cricket .. the only way to save our dignity … and cricket …. and if this is not true .. zufiqaran should be exiled from pakistan forever!!!!!!!! … we may never know who is true ;.. Recommend
The Akmals are pathetic as ever! I have no sympathy for Zony but the Akmals take the crown when it comes to being Shaddy! Recommend
Akmal’s are a disgrace to Pakistan’s cricket.Recommend
Hey guys! You are taking Zulqarnain’s words as gospel truth? The foolish man can not make up his mind what he warns. Am no fan of Kamran and am glad he is out, but would hate to see Zulqarnain return to the team. Time to move own with new players.Recommend
Akmal brothers are dodgy people. Despite poor performances, Kamran still manages to get selected in the team and gets category A contract. There is something fishy in this whole Akmal case that needs serious investigation. The guy probably has a strong backing and no one can do much about it. I wouldnt be surprised if hes back in the team in future.Recommend
Mohhamed Salman is better then both of then Recommend
I thnk akmal is very good player .PCB should give him a chance, he is a match winning player & he will b world’s best wk.keeper.He is the best player then z.hiderRecommend
@Dar Shafqat Hussian:
When you say Akmal do you mean Kamran Akmal ? Or do you you know another Akmal who is very good and hasn’t been contacted by he PCB ? I don’t know if you saw an interview with Afridi on geo tv ( Kashif Abbasi ) who asked him his opinion on Kamran Akmal, Afridi replied that he was a batsman \ wicketkeeper not a wicketkeeper \ batsman which is what the Pakistan team needs. I think your are in the minority of 1 in your opinion of the excuse that is supposed to be a wicketkeeper.Recommend
This all is happening because of poorly administrated state. None of the parties is important on the cost of national respect. Matter must be decided after due investigation. Culprit must be handled with ion hand ( may be any one of them).Recommend
@ Dr. shafqat,
OOOOOOOOOOOOps,, very unique comments sir,,, you must be the single and only individual in entire pakistan after akmal’s family and friends who hold thiese views :)Recommend
The bookmaking gang that was after Zulqarnain has finally been arrested….the guy wasn’t making up stories…the gang is real and so were the threats and now the gang might as well be linked with the Akmal family.Recommend
akmal brothers have not proved guilty yet. and as far as Zulqarnain’s matter concern he shuld not have left the team. he should have consulted the team manager about the threats he was receieving. I don’t want to see both of them in the Pak Cricket team Recommend
Akmals, whether Kamran or Umar, are asset for Pakistani cricket team.Kamran Akmal is far better wicket keeper than any of his predecessors. he is a dangerous batsman. bad time in life comes to every one and this time it is of him. He had been the key in winning of many matches in the past. So, he should be given chance in future for goodness of the team.Recommend
@Dar Shafqat Hussian:
hats off to you, What a optimistic man you are. Kamran Akmal is just a disgrace to PakistanRecommend
