The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has financially supported erstwhile Test cricketer Zulqarnain Haider to cover his medical expenses.
PCB’s director National High-Performance Centre (NHPC), Nadeem Khan and GM Domestic Cricket Junaid Zia visited the ex-Pakistan cricketer and reiterated that they would fully support him in this need of the hour.
A cheque was presented to Haider, who expressed his gratitude to the PCB for visiting him and lending him a helping hand. The 36-year-old recently underwent gastric surgery after suffering from food poisoning during the Oman Cricket League (OCL).
He consumed stale food and spent the day in excruciating pain. The former Pakistan cricketer underwent surgery on his return to Pakistan in Lahore and is feeling better.
“The surgery was successful and I have moved back to my home. Compared to before, I am feeling much better now,” said Zulqarnain.
The 36-year-old also shared that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was in touch with him when he was admitted to the hospital.
“When I was in the hospital, I had contact with the PCB. Their team visited me in the hospital and took the bills. Hopefully, they will be paid soon,” added the wicketkeeper.
