Under-scanner Kaneria to provide ‘bank and assets details’ to PCB
December 17th, 2010 - 4:53 pm ICT by ANIKarachi, Dec 17 (ANI): Pakistan leg spinner Danish Kaneria has said that he is confident of being cleared by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and returning to the national side, adding that the board had asked him to submit details of his bank accounts and other assets.
“I am providing the board with whatever details they have asked for,” the Daily Times quoted Kaneria, as saying.
He made these comments following a meeting with the board’s integrity committee, which he described as ‘fruitful and positive’.
“Now it is just a case of waiting for their decision. I am cooperating in every way. Obviously I am keen to have this stigma off my name and play for Pakistan again,” the spinner said.
Kaneria was the subject of a criminal investigation in August by Essex police over allegations that he was involved in spot-fixing during a county game.
Although he was released without any charge in September, the PCB stopped Kaneria at the last minute from going to the UAE to play the Test series against South Africa.
He had been named in the original squad and even attended the team’s training camp, but was informed just before he was about to leave for the airport that he would not be on the tour.
Kaneria was again left out of the squad for the Test series in New Zealand, along with Kamran Akmal and Shoaib Malik, who have also not been cleared by the PCB. The board has, however, not given any reason for Kaneria’s exclusion. (ANI)
