Pakistan Test spinner Danish Kaneria will not be considered for national selection until the Pakistan Cricket Board has no remaining doubts about his integrity, the PCB told a High Court hearing Tuesday. The board's legal counsel, Tafazzul Rizvi, made the statement at a hearing of the Sindh High court that is hearing a petition filed by Kaneria against the PCB's refusal to clear him to play international cricket. Kaneria claims the PCB should not consider him ineligible. The leg-spinner had his contract terminated by English county Essex last season after he had come under investigation in a spot-fixing case involving a Pro-40 match. Essex police cleared Kaneria, 30, who submitted letters to the PCB from the International Cricket Council (ICC) and his county team to prove he was not under investigation.
