Cricketer Haider Ali cleared in UK alleged rape case

Greater Manchester Police and the Crown Prosecution Service closed the case against Haider Ali due to insufficient evidence, allowing him to resume his cricket career and travel freely.

  • Following a multiweek review, Greater Manchester Police and the Crown Prosecution Service closed the investigation into Haider Ali due to insufficient evidence, GMP and CPS confirmed.
  • The alleged incident dates to July 23, 2025 when the British-Pakistani woman said they met at a Manchester hotel, and after her complaint on August 4, Ali was arrested at Spitfire County Cricket Ground, Kent, then taken to Canterbury Police Station.
  • The Pakistan Cricket Board provisionally suspended Haider Ali for the probe's duration, while Ali denied allegations, cooperated with investigators, was represented by Moeen Khan, and released on bail August 8, 2025.
  • With the investigation closed, Haider Ali is eligible to resume professional cricket and the Pakistan Cricket Board will conduct any internal review before deciding on disciplinary steps.
  • The tournament context matters: the Asia Cup begins on September 9, 2025, and with UK authorities closing the case, Haider Ali could rejoin Pakistan's tri-nation series preparations ahead of the event.
