? Kaneria banned pending appeal against life ban
? Leg-spinner found guilty by England and Wales Cricket Board
The Pakistan leg-spinner Danish Kaneria has been suspended from playing cricket in his home country by the Pakistan Cricket Board while he appeals against a life ban for his alleged involvement in spot-fixing.
The 31-year-old was in June found guilty by the England and Wales Cricket Board of "cajoling and pressurising" his former Essex team-mate Mervyn Westfield into accepting cash in return for trying to concede a set number of runs in an over during a Pro 40 match in 2009.
Kaneria, who denies all involvement in the plot, immediately appealed against the ban and the PCB said on Monday they will not consider him for selection until they know the outcome of the appeal.
"The Integrity Committee of the Pakistan Cricket Board deliberated upon the recent ban imposed by Cricket Discipline Commission of the English and Wales Cricket Board consisting of independent adjudicators against Mr Kaneria and its implementation in Pakistan," read a PCB statement.
"The committee discussed in detail the ICC and PCB Anti-Corruption codes under which the Pakistan Cricket Board is bound to recognise, respect and enforce the ban in its respective jurisdiction.
"It was also brought to the knowledge of the committee that Mr Kaneria intends to appeal against the decision of the Cricket Discipline Commission.
"Keeping in view this aspect, and in the light of the decision by CDC of ECB dated 22 June 2012, the facts of which are being considered in detail by the Integrity Committee, and till the matter is finally concluded by ECB's Appeal Panel, the Integrity Committee decided that Mr Danish Kaneria will not be eligible to play any cricket match, or participate in any cricket event/activity in Pakistan."
Kaneria has not played for Pakistan since September 2010 because of the spot-fixing allegations.
