Pakistan Cricket Board contemplating over imposing ban on disgraced Kaneria – Cricket News Update
Former Pakistani leg-spin bowler, Danish Kaneria, is unlikely to be allowed to take part in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755’s domestic cricket tournaments, said Subhan Ahmed, the chief operating officer of Pakistan Cricket Board.
The 31-year-old right-arm leg-spinner was last month handed a life ban by the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Essex-c783,
in a Clydesdale bank 40 match, in 2009.
PCB is bound to respect the ECB verdict and take parallel measures against its guilty player, as they have signed a doctrine of “mutual recognition of sanctions” put forward by the ICC (International Cricket Council), in a bid to nip the evil of corruption
from the gentleman’s sport.
"We have an obligation to the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 anti-corruption code which states clearly that member countries must also implement decisions relating to corruption against any player in their jurisdictions," Subhan Ahmed, the PCB chief operating officer, told Reuters
on Saturday.
"It is highly unlikely he will be allowed to play now even if he appeals the decision," the PCB COO added further.
Kaneria, who played 61 Tests and 18 One Day Internationals for Pakistan, was charged with inducing his Essex teammate Mervyn Westfield to under-perform in a pro40 match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Durham-c782, for £6,000. In a statement, The three-member ECB disciplinary panel,
calling Kaneria a “liar” and a “grave danger to the game” banned him from English cricket for life.
“We regard http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Danish-Kaneria-c1314 as a grave danger to the game of cricket and we must take every appropriate step to protect our game from his corrupt activities,” the ECB had said in a statement last month.
“Accordingly, we are unanimously of the view that the only appropriate sanction in relation to both charges is one of suspension for life and that is the sanction we impose,” the statement read further.
Meanwhile, the International Cricket Council, at its executive board meeting in Kuala Lumpur last month, had urged all member boards for a worldwide ban on the disgraced leg-spinner.
Kaneria is not the first Pakistani to receive a ban for involvement in spot-fixing. Last year, three other Pakistani’s, former Test captain http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Asif-c1993, were handed five-year bans by an ICC anti-corruption
panel. They also went on to serve jail sentences handed to them by a London court.
