KARACHI: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has ruled out an immediate comeback for Danish Kaneria in the national team, insisting that the leg-spinner first had to satisfy PCB’s integrity committee before he can be cleared for selection.
“We have been asking Danish to provide us with the statement he gave to the Essex police when he was under investigation in the spot-fixing scandal in county cricket last year. But so far he has not provided us with the statement,” a PCB official said.
Kaneria has not played for Pakistan since the scandal-hit England tour in summer 2010 as he has failed to provide evidence which satisfies the integrity committee. The series led to three players being banned for a minimum of five years by the International Cricket Council (ICC). However, Kaneria rejected claims that he had played any role in the spot-fixing.—Agencies
