Intikhab Alam addresses the media prior to Pakistan's departure, Lahore, June 27, 2009The PCB's three-member fact-finding committee has submitted its final report on investigations intoZulqarnain Haider's controversial flight from Dubai to London during the series against South Africa. The PCB declined to make further comments after the committee - comprising team manager Intikhab Alam, the board's security manager Major Najam Javed and senior official Subhan Ahmed - finalised its report.
Haider, who had played a match-winning hand in the fourth one-dayer on November 5, disappeared from Dubai ahead of the final match and surfaced in London. He later confirmed later that he received threats from unidentified people following the fourth match and was told to get in line for the decider.
