In a long awaited hearing Zulqarnain will try to convince the disciplinary committee that his decision to desert the national team in Dubai and flee to London, where he sought asylum, was justified as he was under threat from alleged match-fixers.
According to Zulqarnain, he received the threat during the series against South Africa last year in Dubai after which he left the hotel without informing the team management.
The wicket-keeper only returned to Pakistan in late April after getting assurances of security from interior minister, Rehman Malik.
The PCB, however, has told Zulqarnain to face disciplinary proceedings for violating his central contract.
He said the chairman of the Board, Ijaz Butt had also ignored attempts by Zulqarnain to seek a one-to-one meeting with him.
The board is also upset with Zulqarnain's latest claims in the media that some Pakistani players involved in spot-fixing.
Sources said the disciplinary committee is expected to record statements of some Pakistan players who were in the team that played against South Africa and manager, Intikhab Alam.
