Some support staff members of the national team had earlier briefed Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) inquiry committee that Haider had a complex personality, was a "weak nerve" person and "a person who is easily convinced into believing whatever is said to him."

The inquiry committee, which interviewed Haider over telephone had however ruled out any action against him and instead had asked PCB to write to Haider and ask him what forced him to fly to London.

Lashing out at Hiader's intention to sue the officials, Tafazzul Rizvi, the legal advisor of PCB said he has failed to understand on what grounds the cricketer is planning a legal action against the Board.

"Any citizen of Pakistan can sue anyone but there must be some logic and basis for taking such an action. I really don't know on what grounds, Zulqarnain is saying he will sue us," Rizvi said.

The lawyer pointed out that Haider himself was a "fugitive" who has embarrassed the national team by fleeing the team hotel.

"I don't know what he wants but when he does decide to sue us and sends a notice we will respond accordingly. But at the moment I don't think he is in a position to complain since he broke discipline and the code of conduct with his actions," Rizvi added.

Emphasising on the payment of dues to the eloped wicketkeeper, Rizvi reiterated the board would see if he sends them a notice and then decide.

"We have to take into count he has violated the board and team discipline," the lawyer insisted.

Haider has applied for asylum in the United Kingdom after fleeing the Pakistan team hotel in Dubai in November during the one-day series against South Africa and is currently residing on a temporary residence permit in the country.

Last week he had announced that he was happy to know that his wife and two children would be joining him soon in London.
