KARACHI: Pakistan’s 35-year-old Hindu Test spinner Danish Kaneria has lamented that he was being neglected because of his religion.
Seeking to get one last hearing from Board of Control for Cricket in India on his spot-fixing case that has resulted in a life ban, Kaneria held: “Every avenue has dried up for me in Pakistan; I seem to have no takers for my appeals from the Pakistan Cricket Board. It is because I am a Hindu”.
Spinner Kaneria, cousin of wicket-keeper Anil Dalpat, is the only second-ever Hindu to play for Pakistan at the international level.
