Zulqarnain, who rocked Pakistan cricket last November when he deserted the national team in Abu Dhabi and fled to Britain just hours before a ODI, was planning to return to Lahore from London on Sunday but according to TV reports, he has changed his mind after "receiving threatening calls".

He told Geo Television on Thursday that an anonymous caller from Pakistan threatened him, saying: "You are coming back despite being told not to come, you are responsible for the consequences."
