Danish Kaneria wants his case reviewed by PCB tribunal

[MenInG]

ISLAMABAD: Banned leg-spinner Danish Kaneria on Wednesday made a passionate appeal to Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to review his case in the three-member tribunal recently formed to probe the Pakistan Super League (PSL) corruption case.

PCB formed the three-member tribunal headed by a retired judge to investigate the spot-fixing case in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) involving opening batsmen Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif.

The tribunal will be headed by retired Justice Asghar Haider, who was also the legal advisor to the board in the past, and includes former PCB Chairman Tauqir Zia and former wicketkeeper Wasim Bari.Talking to APP, Kaneria requested the government and PCB’s Patron-in-Chief, Prime minister Nawaz Sharif to urge the board to review his case in front of the above mentioned tribunal. “I am a proud Pakistani and want to serve my country more. Help me in this regard,” he appealed.

It may be mentioned here that Kaneria was banned for life by England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in June 2012 for his alleged involvement in foul practices of spot-fixing during the English county cricket season

According to Kaneria, the ECB has banned him from playing international cricket over some false statements made by his former Essex colleague Mervyn Westfield who was himself convicted over spot-fixing charges.

Off we go again. Kaneria with his "I was banned only on the statements of a fixer" and neglecting to mention the other clean players who gave statements against him (such as suggesting they fix a game whilst on the team coach) and the numerous coincidences he couldn't explain.

He's such a liar.

Even the PCB knew about his dodgy behaviour before he was caught which is why they refused to select him for such a long time.

Remember incidents like this?

Danish is innocent.

Love ya Danish bhai!

 

[Bewal Express]

Danish should have got a 5 year ban like many others.

 

[ExpressPacer]

I can't help but think that had Danish Kaneria been a Muslim, PCB would have treated him differently. Look at how much they tried to defend Salman Butt, Asif and Amir who fixed at INTERNATIONAL LEVEL. They don't even try to pursue Danish's case. Even if he's fixed, at least try to get his ban lowered or something like you have with other players. Don't do it with anyone or do it with everyone.

How come Danish can't get back to the national side but Amir and Asif can ?

Kanerias punishment was decided by the ECB, the others were decided by the ICC.

ECB cannot superimpose their decisions on PCB ... If ICC sanctions were take off in case of Amir and other's , why is PCB not taking stand for their own like it did for others

 

[contraman]

Danish is paying for being a Hindu in Pakistan, he should not be delusional and understand that he will never get the PCB or the Government support unlike other Muslim Pakistani players who received massive support in the past and the present. The Article 41 of the constitution legalises this position of Hindus, Christians and Sikhs in Pakistan and they should either accept it or migrate to other countries.

The ECB don't have to, ICC regulations state that a ban by one full member must be upheld by the others.

Until when ? So ECB put a lifeban for Kaneria who was not direcntly implicated but 5 years for Amir ?
Why is PCB not taking a stand on this

The ECB didn't have anything to do with Amir's punishment, that was the ICCs decision.

 

[bleaf27]

From what I'v read PCB was to do their own independent integrity committee hearing. What was the outcome ?
Kaneria, who " is the 4th highest wicket taker who is Pakistan's fourth highest wicket-taker - and leading spinner - in Tests" - Is this how PCB would have backed if this was let's say Saeed Ajmal or Afridi ?
When the monkeygate scandal happened with Harbhajan , he had the full BCCI support and regardless of what Cricket board of Australia sanctioned him with , BCCI would have taken a stance.

Danish's offence - " Westfield gave evidence against Kaneria, revealing details about how the former Pakistan legspinner introduced him to an Indian businessman know as Arun or Anu Bhatt. Kaneria, who had been warned about Bhatt's alleged connections to illegal betting, admitted putting the two in contact but claimed he had been trying to distance himself from Bhatt".

This is no rocket science but Amir / Asif fixed the match themselves and underperformed in International Games and PCB accepted them back ( regardless of ICC sanction ) , If Amir did not have PCB support, he wouldn't have been back in the team . Do you think post scandal , Amir and Kaneria received the same support ?

in PSL , Sharjeel and another player were taken away - PCB is handling their case under wraps and still backing them (if ICC was to step in it would be much harsher) , then why PCB hasn't taken a stand for Kaneria ?

If ICC sanctioned Amir/Asif for underperforming for their own country in International games only for certain years, How come PCB is not questioning the judgement handed out by ECB ?

He would have never represented Pakistan if that was the case.

Kaneria was banned for fixing himself as well as trying to corrupt multiple other players from both his own team and others, Westfield evidently successfully. The evidence included phone records of Kaneria calling Anu Bhatt, who the ECB ACU had specifically warned Kaneria over avoiding all contact with due to extreme links to criminal activity and specifically sports corruption, during the interval of televised games.

If the PCB were so anti Hindu than why did they select him to represent the national team

Danish has been convicted of primarily getting WestField in touch with a bookie. Throwing a game himself , for Pakistan ?
Amir who threw games for Pakistan vs Danish who threw game in England at club level , certainly not the same degree of offence.

You certainly did not answer my other questions .

Mr. Smartypants, it was ECB that banned Kaneria. That ban applies for everything that comes under ICC, including PCB. Take your kachra arguments somewhere else please.

 

[PakLFC]

Time for Dani to let go and get off with his life. His cricket career has been long over.

 

[Major]

Not a smart move by Kaneria.

Kaneria has admitted to the fact taht he knew the bookies and had met them, same thing in which sharjeel and latif have been caught.

so this won't really help him

BS

Learn about the case first

 

[Junaids]

How come Danish can't get back to the national side but Amir and Asif can ?

It was proven that Kaneria paid cricketers to fix for money for criminals.

Amir and Asif bowled no-balls - Asif didn't even get paid for his one, he refused payment - and did so for a newspaper, not a criminal.

Asif spent time in jail and wasn't a criminal - LOL

That's not what I said.

Asif didn't fix for criminal fixers (ie bookies). Kaneria did.

I see your futile attempt to create distinction between their actions but I'll simplify it.

Kaneria arranged meeting with cricketers and bookied - Whether they were criminals or not isn't relevant. Secondly, Kaneria did not fix the game for a match with Pakistan Involved.

Amir , Ill let Asif go , fixed the match for His nation himself while playing for His country representing them in an international match. Who he fixed it and how criminal they were isn't relevant. and if it is relevant, I'm sure they were no saints..

See the difference ?

I think you are being a little concrete with this.

Do you really think that Danish Kaneria never match-fixed against his country? And yes, I wrote match-fixed, not spot-fixed.

Perhaps you would care to review his spells in the First and Third Tests away to South Africa in 2006-07 and away to Australia in the Sydney Test in 2009-10.

The two South African matches were matches in which the betting was that Asif and Kaneria would help Pakistan to defend a moderate but defendable total in the fourth innings. The Sydney Test was fixed by Majeed - he confessed to it but stated that Asif and Butt were not involved in the fix. So who was?

And in all three Tests on a deteriorating track, Kaneria was completely toothless.

I am not accusing him of fixing. But I'm suggesting that you think twice before stating that he never fixed against his country.

You are picking out things and trying to formulate something without understanding the actual case and sanction.

- Amir, Asif and Butt were banned by ICC for '5 YEARS'. PCB had nothing to do with the punishment. ICC banned them and PCB waited for the ban to end before letting them play again. It is very clear that PCB had no role in their reintegration. PCB just followed what the ICC asked and let the players play once suitable punishment was given.

- Kaneria was banned by 'ECB' for 'life'. Just like PCB did not contested the trio's case nor did push to get their sentences reduced (they did it for Amir but we all know the reasons which have been already discussed). Any ban imposed by an ICC member on a particular player applies throughout, just like Asif was banned in IPL for a year and wasn't allowed to play International cricket for 1 year. PCB in no way could contest their decision because that is under the domain of the board where the crime was committed (County cricket under ECB).

One thing which is consistent is that PCB haven't fought for any of the convicts. They just allowed the punishments to end before stepping into their role. It does not matter that what the crime was, all it matters is the ban which was imposed by the body and PCB just needs to adhere to that.

..

why would pcb support him when he did wrong and was rightly given the penalty.plus he is past now...so pcb will gain nothing...pcb never supported asif and butt ..amir was supported because of age and talent..dont drag everything into religion...we know how u do behave with kashmiris...
