ISLAMABAD - Pakistan's retired wicketkeeper Zulqarnain Haider said he is ready to take a legal action against Pakistan cricket board (PCB) officials for calling him mentally disturbed.

The cricketer released his message at internet through his profile page at social network website Facebook.

The wicketkeeper sought asylum in London since leaving the team hotel in Dubai in November 2010 during the series against South Africa, saying he received death threats from match fixers.

Haider, who played only one Test and four one-day international matches for Pakistan, also announced his retirement from his country's cricket and showed some intentions to play domestic cricket in England.

A PCB inquiry into Haider's actions was told by some support staff members of the national team that Haider had a complex personality, was a "weak nerve" person and "a person who is easily convinced into believing whatever is said to him".

Haider wrote on his Facebook page that he "is ready now 2 (to) sue PCB about mental illness report". But he did not mention about the timing and way of filing a case against PCB officials.

He planed legal action against inquiry committee comprising PCB chief operating officer Subhan Ahmed, team coach Intikhab Alam and former security manager Khawaja Najam Javed.

The inquiry committee, which interviewed Haider by telephone, submitted a report in November saying it could not recommend any action against him. Instead it asked the PCB to write to Haider and ask him - in writing - what happened in Dubai which forced him to fly to London.
