“Pakistan wicket-keeper Zulqarnain Haider has gone missing from the team’s hotel in Dubai and did not come to the ground for Monday’s ODI against South Africa.

“I can’t make much comment on this, but I can only confirm that Haider did not come with the team to the ground and we are looking for him,” team manager Intikhab Alam said.

The 24-year-old Haider was fined 500 dirhams (136 dollars) on Sunday after he broke curfew hours imposed by the team management.

Haider scored a match-winning 19 not out to help Pakistan win the fourth one-day International played here on Friday which levelled the five-match series 2-2.

The fifth and final match will be played on Monday.

Haider sent a SMS text message to a Pakistani journalist and posted a message on his facebook page which both read: “leaving Pakistan cricket because get bad msg fr 1 man fr lose the match in last game.”

Haider’s family members told a local channel in Pakistan that they had no new information about him but that they were worried about his welfare.
