WELLINGTON;

A Pakistan cricketer on tour in New Zealand
was hit for six when he saw what he believed
was a ghost haunting him in his hotel room,

presence was haunting him when he awoke
Saturday night to find his bed moving,team
manager Naveed Akram Cheema  said.
 
Cheema told Fairfox media thatSohail called
a member of the coaching staff who arrived
to fined the 26-year old all rounder "visibly
shaken.

Sohail ,a left arm spinner and middle -order
batsman ,spent the rest of the night in the
coach's room at the Rydges Latimer hotel,in
Christchurch before being moved to another
room.The cricketer tweeted on Sunday .

One of his followers tweeted back "Its nice
to hear that you recovered from that incident
in New Zealand.

The hotel management declined to comment
on the incident ,referring enquiries to Pakistan
team officials who explained that the cricketer
was suffering from a fever at the time.

"We think it was the fever that caused it (but)
the player still believes his bed was shaken by
something and it was a super-natural something,"
Cheema said adding that Sohail had been examined
by the team doctor and was found to be in good
health.

Sohail was reportedly unable to train for two days
after the incident and scored six when batting at

and claimed 185 lives.There have been  no overnight
earthquakes recorded in the Christchurch since the
