"Can't imagine Afridi making these comments if Pakistani players were still in IPL" : Mohammad Kaif

He wasn’t talking about the amount of money Kaif has. Maybe you should have asked Shabana Azmi about a Muslim trying to buy a property in India.
That was his point - no amount of fake nationalism is going to change the fact you as a Muslim will face open discrimination in India.

This is what is called 2 dimensional thinking.

The point here is not how rich Kaif is. Putting religion aside for a second, Kaif comes from a humble background and had decent talent, worked very hard.

some might say he over achieved and some say he under achieved with the talent he has . I can see both arguments.

However Kaif is a rags to riches story and the point being here is he put his head down and worked honestly and reaps the benefits. This shows that in India it’s not about religion. Put your head down and work hard and success follows without any bias or prejudice. No one pigeon holes Kaif as a Muslim cricketer. He is an indian cricketer who gave fans some memorable moments to cherish. Unfortunately since it is a Pakistan forum we have to bring his religion to make a point which we don’t see often in India. Same goes for any other Muslim Athlete,Artist,Entrepeneur or blue and white
Collar workers.
 
It must be galling for Kaif that despite his protestations of being a proud Ind, he as Ind Muslim will always be treated as 2nd citizen, looked upon with suspicion and that forever has to show his loyalty to Modis fascist Ind. He cannot speak up without the fear of being lynched by the RSS mob.

Without even revisiting the 90s and Qayyum report

Let us see the potential 2023 Pakistan squad

Amir- convicted for spot fixing In an international game representing his country in the home of cricket Lords. You can’t make that up. Brought back with a red carpet.

Sharjeel- Banned for spotfixing in a league that was supposed to put Pak cricket back on the map. Arrangements made and red carpet laid to bring him back.

Umar Akmal- 3 year ban and fans still are looking
Forward to his comeback already.

Sarfaraz- Made a racist comment against a black man in South Africa of all places. I mean can we even make this up. Calling a racist term to a Blackman in a country that was torn apart by racial discrimination for 100s of years. People want him back as “captain”

Hafeez- banned multiple times for chucking but still no problem.

Butt,Asif all play domestic cricket.

Danish Kaneria convicted by ECB for fixing in some 2nd tier league game and is life banned by PCB with out even any prospects to coach.

On the other side of the border.

Shami accused of horrible things during the worldwide metoo hysteria and still BCCI does everything in power to get him out.

Kaif,Pathan bro’s are millionaires and already seem to be ready to start their next careers in broadcasting and coaching and make more money.

Azharuddin has done well for himself despite the lifetime ban.

Make what you want of it if the post.

To clarify I don’t support Kaneria because he is a Hindu. There is clear bias here and personally I think given the culture of fixing he has seen, I am
Sure he is guilty and needs to be banned and so
Does everyone involved remotely in fixing . However pointing out the hypocrisy.

Fun fact when Kaif used to play and India lost the WC final in 2003 his house was stoned.

The difference here is that for the others the punishment was handed by or could be amended by the PCB but for Kaneria, PCB does not have any control. They are bound to follow ECB punishment as that is required by ECB. If PCB had given the punishment or the ECB punishment was of shorter duration, Danish would’ve been back by now.

Also the word ‘concocted’ implies that there was some devious planning. Are you saying he did not fix?

You are seeing a conspiracy and hypocrisy only because you choose to see so. Take off your saffron tinted glasses

PCB’s convictions are real and players guilty. ECB’s verdict is concocted because it involves a Hindu player. Indians setting new heights of absurdity.

The world concocted was a typo/error which I edited immediately. The fact that while reading the post you didn’t catch that as an error and overtook your entire interpretation, clearly tells me something.

I have no sympathies for Kaneria the fixer. He deserves the ban. However he has a point when people who have done way worse as pointed out in example above get away with it, he has a point why he feels mistreated.

Also don’t give me the whole ECB banned him schtick. Unless you work for the PCB legal and Pr team, that is not a statement from a rational unbiased fan leave alone Pakistani.

The 2010 trio in fact committed a crime and went to prison in a foreign country while the other was banned which clearly indicates that he didn’t commit an actual crime but just violated some rules. You think PCB couldn’t negotiate that for a player who has nearly 300 test wickets?

Bias from whom? The ECB banned him. What a silly statement.

Then he should take the ECB to court.

Lol at clearly tells you something :))

You need to look at his case. ECB banned him and ICC asked to follow through with punishment in all jurisdictions. The trio bans were limited.

PCB didn’t give any support to the trio apart from amir either. And the reason for Amir’s support is he accepted his guilt and asked for support. Kaneria didn’t accept his guilt just like Butt and Asif and as a result he wasn’t extended any support either

PCB supported Amir. Not the other two in the trio.

And for the trio and Kaneria it went with the punishment handed by ICC and/or ECB.

If it were supporting all of the trio then Asif and Butt might have returned to Pakistani colors too since initially their performances in domestics upon return was good too.

Finally. Even when the case was happening with kaneria. PCB didn’t ban him and he continued playing domestics till 2012 eventhough case happened in 2010 or so. It’s only when ICC mandates ECB punishment to be extended everywhere was Kaneria also stopped from playing domestics. Clearly PCB wasn’t in any hurry to ban him.

Your manipulation of facts and statements based on half-baked knowledge clearly tells me something tho.

Not sure why you are investing in all the legal and law points.

My pov is clear I think I have stated multiple times that any player who brings disrepute to the game no matter at what level should Or under whatever circumstances should be life banned.

Doesn’t matter what the circumstances are, A pakistan player especially a test player of some repute being banned is PCB’s problem. Wasn’t Asif caught with drugs in Dubai of all places? Why did PCB get involved? They could have let the Dubai government give whatever the punishment was, couldn’t they?

Anyways I don’t care if Kaneria is Hindu or not I see him as a Pakistani. Not my problem however I see PCB bending backwards for people with much larger crimes. However my response was the taunt about Kaif and other Muslim cricketers and trust me they are doing way better than the minority cricketers of Pakistan of should I say rather majority of Pakistan cricketers ever.
