LONDON – Pakistan cricketer Haider Ali, who was arrested in the UK over allegations of sexual assault, has flown back to Pakistan after the case against him was dropped. The national cricketer was seen off at the airport by his friends, who wished him well.
The Manchester police had launched an investigation on August 4 after receiving a sexual assault complaint against Haider Ali, which allegedly occurred on July 23 in Manchester.
