LONDON – Pakistan leg-spinner Danish Kaneria said Friday he will appeal the lifetime ban handed down to him by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for his role in a spot-fixing scandal. “I will definitely appeal the ban. The people trust me. I'm an honest man. I've been playing cricket with passion and love. I have done nothing wrong,” the 31-year-old told Sky Sports News. Kaneria was given a life ban from English cricket Friday for his involvement in the Mervyn Westfield spot-fixing case. Westfield was jailed for four months in February, but served two before being released in April, after admitting he accepted £6,000 ($9,346) to under-perform during a Pro40 match between Essex and Durham in 2009. — AP
