Banned leg-spinner Danish Kaneria has lashed out at the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) saying that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is not pursuing his case because of them.
According to media report, “The ECB had forced the PCB to not look into my case, despite no proof against me,” said Kaneria while talking to a foreign media agency.
Kaneria is back into the spotlight once again, he also criticized ECB for its special treatment to Mervyn Westfield which according to him shows the board bias and unjust attitude towards him.
The ECB anti-corruption tribunal slapped a life ban on Kaneria in 2012 and Mervyn Westfield was jailed the same year and banned from professional cricket for five years and club cricket for three years on the spot-fixing charges.
He further said that because of ECB he could not remain associated with his bread and butter, cricket. “Some people in the PCB did not like me and treated me as an alien as I was progressing in the game,” he said.
In 2012, Kaneria was adjudged to have fixed a match in the English county championship. He was subsequently banned for five years and also imprisoned for a substantial amount of time. Kaneria has also pleaded with the PCB to look into his case and help him out with his current predicament.
Kaneria has played 61 Tests and 18 ODIs for Pakistan.
