Lahore: Pakistan wicketkeeper Zulqarnain Haider , who has received death threats from match-fixers, wants to return to the big stage now that he is back in his country.
“I may be losing valuable time by not playing cricket but I will stage a comeback,” said the 25-year-old, who returned to Pakistan earlier this week after being in London for five months citing death threats from match-fixers.
“My cricket has already suffered a lot and I miss playing as I had worked very hard to get into the national side,” he added.
Besides the lone Test, the promising keeper-batsman had played just four ODIs and three Twenty20s when he announced his retirement last November while in London.
Zulqarnain said at the beginning of his career, he lost his mother but continued playing because of his love for the sport.
“You can understand what this sport means to me so imagine why I decided to go to London while in the national team,” he said.
