On Haider Ali, Manchester police have dismissed all charges.

The Pakistan batter was arrested on suspicion of rape by the Greater Manchester Police in the UK last month.

All charges against Pakistani cricketer Haider Ali, who was detained by the Greater Manchester Police (GMP) in the UK last month on suspicion of rape, have been dropped, ending the inquiry. Haider is now free to depart the United Kingdom after being freed on bail after his detention.

The GMP told ESPNcricinfo, “We always take allegations of this nature extremely serious and will investigate each incident thoroughly.” “The inquiry has been closed at this time after a thorough examination of all the evidence that was available. We would suitably reexamine the case and the material if any new information became available.

Haider, 24, played against a selected XI in Beckenham and Hove while on tour with the Shaheens, essentially a Pakistan A team, in the United Kingdom. On August 3, when GMP officers showed up at the Beckenham stadium for a game, Haider was taken into custody. Haider played in the Shaheens’ first tour match on July 23, the day after the alleged offense that led to the arrest took place in Manchester, according to a GMP statement at the time. The claimed victim was being “supported by officers” at the time, and Haider was out on bond.

The PCB informed that Haider’s allegations had been withdrawn. The PCB “reserve[d] the right to take appropriate action under its Code of Conduct, if necessary” in a statement released at the time of his arrest.

We are aware that the PCB has not yet decided whether to take action against Haider; instead, it is awaiting the player’s return to Pakistan.

Haider has represented Pakistan in 35 T20Is and two ODIs. His reputation as a devastating hitter was first enhanced by his exceptional PSL achievements with Peshawar Zalmi in 2020, where he amassed 239 runs at a strike rate of 157.23. Later that year, he was called up to the national team, making his debut in a Twenty20 International match in Manchester, where he hit a 54 off 33 balls to help Pakistan win by five runs.

Since then, he has been plagued by inconsistency and has alternated between the Pakistani side on several occasions. The current Shaheens tour was generally seen as a chance to reintegrate a player whose batting style fits with the aggressive style Pakistan’s current T20 set-up has made no secret of wanting to pursue. Nevertheless, his talent and explosiveness have kept him in international contention.
