Shahid Afridi has landed himself in hot soup as former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria has made a startling accusation against the ex-captain. Last year, former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar had revealed that Danish Kaneria was mistreated by his teammates because he was Hindu. To which, Kaneria had said Akhtar and Inzamam-ul-Haq had always supported him. He never brought the names out in public but he will soon make the revelation.
Kaneria was the second Hindu player for Pakistan after Anil Dalpat. The tainted spinner, who was involved in match-fixing scandal, played for the national team between 2000 to 2010. Dalpat, the other player, to play for Pakistan was incidentally his uncle who played around the 1980s.
Danish Kaneria: Shahid Afridi had been against me, kept me out of the one-day side
“Shahid Afridi had been against me since the beginning. He kept me out of the one-day side. When we used to play together for the same department, he used to keep me on the bench and didn’t let me play the one-day tournament. I only played 16 ODIs in my 10-year career as I used to get only two or three matches every year,” Kaneria told Sports Tak in an interview on Friday.
