The London court has acquitted Pakistani cricketer Haider Ali of rape charges. The allegations stemmed from an incident involving a British-Pakistani woman at a Manchester hotel. The player was taken into custody by Greater Manchester Police last month while in England for a match with the Pakistan Shaheens. His defense was handled by barrister Moin Khan. The court’s decision provides a significant reprieve for Ali, who has represented Pakistan in 35 T20I matches.
