In an extraordinary press conference he said that, if the ICC wants to eradicate match-fixing from international cricket, it will need to start monitoring the phone conversations of all international players and tracking their activities off the pitch.
"The best way is to record all the players' phones and record where they are going," said Haider. He refused to accuse any of his Pakistan team-mates of fixing matches, saying: "I don't want to blame anyone, I don't want to be negative to anyone." But he did say that "a lot of people are involved" in match-fixing and that he was willing to co-operate fully with the ICC's Anti-Corruption and Security Unit. "Whether I play cricket or not, I just want cricket to be clear of fixing." Haider reiterated the threat that had been made to him before the fourth ODI against South Africa. He was warned by a bookmaker he had never met before that, if he did not help fix that match and the one that followed it, then he would not play for Pakistan again. "I was told: 'If you work with us, we will give you a lot of money. If not, we will not select you again in cricket and, if you go back home, we will kill you and your family.'"
