KARACHI, (Reuters) – The wife of Pakistan wicketkeeper Zulqarnain Haider wants to join her husband in London as she fears for her children’s safety after Haider said he would expose those taking bribes in Pakistan cricket. Iqra Haider, flanked by her two small children, said on Geo News that she was scared after getting threat calls from unknown callers.
“Soon after my husband said on his Facebook page yesterday he would expose these people, I started getting calls from unknown numbers where they told me they knew where my children studied or went and they would not remain safe,” she said.
The wicketkeeper’s wife, speaking on national television with her face and head covered by a veil and only her eyes visible, said she wanted to join her husband in London.
“I don’t feel safe any longer in Pakistan after these threats calls. I am afraid to even send my children out now, I want to be with my husband,” she said.
