Haider's contract suspended

Pakistan cricket board (PCB) has suspended the stipend contract of wicketkeeper Zulqarnain Haider, this is a probably a sign of PCB's unhappiness with Haider since his covert runaway from the Pakistan team hotel in Dubai ahead of the fifth one-dayer against South Africa, "PCB has suspended the stipend contract of Mr. Zulqarnain Haider for violating terms and conditions of the same," a board statement said. 

The stipend contract is a level below the central contracts the board hands out every year to a number of players in and around the national squad. Generally, stipend contracts, worth Rs. 50,000 per month, are offered to younger players on the basis of national selection.
