Zulqarnain asks for compensation of 14 Crore Pak Rs from Geo News for giving wrong news.
Zulqarnain Haider, the mysterious wicket-keeper of Pakistan, has decided to file defamation case against a Pakistani Media Group. According to that Media Group, Zulqarnain Haider has filed a fresh asylum application in England and has canceled plans to return Pakistan. Zulqarnain Haider has strictly denied this news and has planed to file case of defamation against that Media Group.
Zulqarnain Haider is seeking a compensation of 1 Million Pounds(nearly 14 crore Pakistan rupees) from that Media Group for reporting a wrong news. As said by Zulaqarnain, the case will be filed in the British court in upcoming days. Moreover, he said he is seeking services of human rights law firm, Burney Legal Solicitors, to file this case. He also mentioned that the compensation money will be used for a free Ambulance Service which will benefit needy people of Pakistan.
Zulqarnain Haider mentioned details of defamation on Facebook, a popular social network. It is to be remembered that Zulqarnain went missing from Pakistan’s entourage during 2010 ODI Series against South Africa in UAE. Since his mysterious departure, he has talked number of times to blow whistle in order to unveil match-fixers. But few days ago, he finally decided to come back to Pakistan after he was given surety of security. He is scheduled to leave England on 24th April.

10-year ban for Salman Butt, 7-year ban for Asif and 5-year ban for Aamir.
10-year ban for Salman Butt, 7-year ban for Asif & 5-year ban for Aamir
The trio arrived yesterday in Doha to hear verdict of spot-fixing case. The verdict turned out be worst ever verdict all of three ever heard in their lives. Salman Butt was handed ban of 10-year with 5-year suspension, Asif was banned for 7-year with 2-year suspension and Aamir, the spoiled brat, was banned for 5-year. "Suspensions" means that if players don't violate the code of conduct in next 5 years then their ban will be reduced to 5 years, this means Salman Butt and Asif can be back after 5 years. As far as Aamir is concerned, no suspension was granted to him as minimum ban in ICC's code of conduct was of 5 years
In an ideal scenario for the trio, all three players are handed ban of 5-year as Salman Butt and Asif's ban can be reduced. In this particular regard, this verdict seems quite absurd as, indirectly, all three players are handed same ban(5 years). Aamir was the only one who gave a TV interview after the verdict, where he showed disappointment over 5-year ban and said "How can someone be banned for 5 years for just 2 no-balls?"
Michael Beloff QC, chairman of the tribunal, also said that we imposed 5-year ban because it was minimum in ICC's code of conduct and he asked ICC to re-view their code of conduct. Michael Beloff's this statement shows that Aamir and Asif could have got a lesser ban if minimum penalty in ICC's code wasn't of 5 years. Players now have 20 days to appeal in Court of Arbitration where there will be different system and jury.
The more difficulties have already arrived for players as Crown Prosecution Service has also called the trio for 3 crimes. Players will now appear before jury on 17th March and if found guilty they could be sent to jail for years. This move isn't dangerous for only the trio in fact other players, who will be playing in World Cup, can be pressurized too.
