Shahid Afridi Hits Back At Danish Kaneria, Asks Him Why Didn't He Complain To The Board If He Was So Bad
Danish Kaneria, the former Pakistani leg-spinner who was banned for life for spot-fixing in County cricket had recently alleged that former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi was a liar and a manipulator.
Shahid Afridi has now responded to those allegations and has asked why Kaneria took so much time to come forward with these allegations.
Look At The Person Who Is Levelling These Allegations Against Me: Shahid Afridi
Shahid Afridi, arguably Pakistan’s greatest leg spinner said that people need to look at the character of the person who has said those things about him.
“And the person saying all this, look at his own character,” Afridi was quoted by thenews.com.pk. “Kaneria was like my younger brother and I played with him in the department for many years. “If my attitude was bad then why he did not complain to the Pakistan Cricket Board or the department he was playing for. He is giving interviews to our enemy country which can incite religious sentiments, Afridi said.
Kaneria earlier had alleged that Afridi did not want him to be part of the team. “He didn’t want me to be in the team. He was a liar; a manipulator because he’s a characterless person. However, my focus was only on cricket and I used to ignore all these tactics. Shahid Afridi was the only person who would go to other players and provoke them against me. I was performing well and he was jealous of me. I am proud that I played for Pakistan. I was grateful,” Kaneria had said.
It remains to be seen if the Pakistan Cricket Board steps in the issue or not.
Kaneria played 61 tests for Pakistan and claimed 261 wickets.
