LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has again asked leg-spinner Danish Kaneria to submit the clearance certificate from his last employer, Essex county, at the earliest if he wants to clear himself from the allegations of match-fixing and resume international cricket for Pakistan.
A PCB spokesman said, “The PCB responded on Tuesday to the letter sent by Mr Danish Kaneria on May 12.
“The supporting email Kaneria sent to us was more than six-months-old and is already on our records. After taking legal opinion and confirming with the ECB, the PCB considers that the said document fails to satisfy it.
“Mr Kaneria has therefore been advised to provide the clearance certificate at the earliest.”
Kaneria has not played for Pakistan since last summer as PCB’s integrity committee did not clear him, which also investigated the cases of Shoaib Malik and Kamran Akmal.
The case of Malik is still pending with the committee along with Kaneria’s.
Sources told Dawn on the condition of anonymity that the leg-spinner had found himself in trouble when he allegedly accepted money from two cricketers of an opponent county to fix a match.
It is learnt that the two cricketers reported the matter to the Scotland Yard and took Kaneria to the court.
But later, the cricketers decided to withdraw their cases, as they would also have to face life suspension in case of punishment to Kaneria, and settled the issue out of the court.
The England and Wales Cricket Board later shared the episode with the PCB
