The arrest of Haider Ali on rape charges in England has significantly altered the cricketing landscape. While Ali is on bail, he is restricted from leaving the country until the legal proceedings conclude. This situation has opened up an opportunity for Mohammad Faiq, who has joined the Pakistan Shaheen team. Faiq’s career statistics showcase his all-round capabilities, including runs, wickets, and notable performances in various formats. The legal implications for Haider Ali are substantial, potentially including a lengthy prison sentence if found guilty. The PCB has declared its support for the investigation and assistance for Haider Ali, while also suspending him until the matter is resolved.
