File photo of Danish Kaneria and Shahid Afridi© AFP Danish Kaneria, former Pakistan cricket team player and the country’s highest-wicket taking spinner in Tests, has levelled some serious allegations against former captain Shahid Afridi. Kaneria, with 261 scalps is the fourth highest wicket-taker among Pakistan players after Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Imran Khan. As a spinner, Kaneria played from 2000 to 2010. Afridi was his long-time teammate and the two shared dressing room too. Now responding to a post on X regarding Shahid Afridi, Kaneria made some big allegations: “He has consistently aligned himself with extremist views. In my opinion, he should not be given a platform on Indian television or within the country. Additionally, he tried to persuade me to convert to Islam and declined to share a meal with me, which I found deeply disrespectful.” Danish Kaneria earlier alleged that he faced huge discrimination in Pakistan and his career was destroyed. Kaneria said he did not get equal values and respect in Pakistan. He had participated in the Congressional Briefing …

Former Pakistan cricket team spinner Danish Kaneria slammed Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar for calling the Pahalgam attack terrorists ‘freedom fighters’. Kaneria had previously criticised Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif as well for his silence on the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir. The attack in Pahalgam was the deadliest assault in the Kashmir Valley since the 2019 Pulwama attack. While the incident resulted in a lot of criticism from all around the world, Ishaq Dar made a bizarre claim by calling the terrorists “freedom fighters”. Kaneria was left fuming by the comment as he called it  ‘disgraceful’ and said that this is “an open admission of state-sponsored terrorism”. “When the Deputy Prime Minister of Pakistan calls terrorists “freedom fighters,” it’s not just a disgrace – it’s an open admission of state-sponsored terrorism,” Kaneria posted on X (formerly Twitter).

Published by Webster

Former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria has publicly criticised Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for his silence following the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, India, which resulted in the deaths of 26 tourists. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Kaneria questioned the Prime Minister’s lack of condemnation, stating, “If Pakistan truly has no role in the Pahalgam terror attack, why hasn’t Prime Minister @CMShehbaz condemned it yet? Why are your forces suddenly on high alert? Because deep down, you know the truth – you’re sheltering and nurturing terrorists. Shame on you.” If Pakistan truly has no role in the Pahalgam terror attack, why hasn’t Prime Minister @CMShehbaz condemned it yet? Why are your forces suddenly on high alert?

The 44-year-old speaking on the sidelines of a congressional briefing on the plight of minorities in Pakistan in Washington DC opened up about it. “We all gathered here and shared our experiences of how we were treated in Pakistan.

Ex-Pakistan Star Takes Dig At Pakistan Cricket Board Amid India’s National Anthem Row In Lahore At CT 2025

Published by Webster

The defending champions and host Pakistan are on the verge of being eliminated from the Champions Trophy following a six-wicket loss to India. Former spinner Danish Kaneria suggested that PCB should adopt a strict approach, like India did after the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series loss, to achieve the desired results. Pakistan lost to New Zealand in Karachi in the tournament opener by 60 runs and lost their second game to arch-rivals India, as they still have no points to show on the points table with just one match to go. There is only a flicker of hope remaining for hosts at the Champions Trophy, who are now relying solely on other results to have any chance of progressing to the semifinals. Following Pakistan’s loss to India, Kaneria said PCB needs to ask players to stay away from distractions and focus on making their game better. “I hope PCB doesn’t make the mistake that happened in Lahore when India’s national anthem was mistakenly played (during the Australia vs England match)”, Kaneriya told IANS. “The PCB’s …

Pak Ex Cricketer On Gautam Adani

Pak Ex Cricketer On Gautam Adani

Published by Webster

Pakistan’s former cricketer Danish Kaneria Friday lavished praise on Indian industrialist Gautam Adani for “dedicating his wealth to serving “Sanatan Dharma”. Earlier this week, Gautam Adani, the Chairman of the Adani Group, immersed himself in the sacred rituals of Maha Kumbh, the world’s largest religious gathering, in Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj and offered prayers. The billionaire also participated in a host of rituals at the Mela ground, including preparation of the ‘Mahaprasad’ (sacred meal) and distributing it to the Kumbh pilgrims. “This is exactly why forces around the world are working relentlessly to bring this man down. He’s dedicating his wealth and resources to serving Sanatan Dharma, not pandering to any ‘ecosystem’,” said Danish Kaneria, Pakistan’s highest wicket-taking spinner. The Adani Group saw billions of dollars wiped from its market value last year after US short-seller Hindenburg Research accused it of corporate fraud. Gautam Adani, Asia’s second-richest man, denied the allegations made in that report, calling it a “deliberate attempt” to damage its image for the benefit of Hindenburg and other short-sellers. “As someone from a …

Rohit Sharma “Should Come At…”: Ex-Pakistan Star’s Bold Batting Order Advice For Out-Of-Form India Captain

Published by Webster

File photo of Rohit Sharma.© BCCI Indian opener Rohit Sharma is going through a tough time in Test cricket. While in captaincy he has got some unwanted records registered under his name, Rohit’s batting has also been poor. The right-handed batter scored 91 runs across six innings of the three-match Test series against New Zealand that India lost 3-0. Despite the last two matches being played on complete spin-friendly tracks, Rohit was dismissed by fast bowlers thrice out of four times. Reacting to the India Test captain’s poor performance, former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria has shared a piece of advice for him. Kaneria suggested India head coach Gautam Gambhir to change Rohit’s batting order. He said that the Rohit should bat at the number 3 position, not as an opener. He added that Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill should open the batting for India. “Just see if Rohit Sharma is still comfortable opening or if he should come in one-down and change his order a little bit because he has been struggling with …

Published by Webster

Danish Kaneria labelled the defeat in Multan as the “funeral of Pakistan cricket”.© X (Twitter) Pakistan’s hopes of avoiding a sixth straight Test defeat were shattered on Friday as England claimed a win by an innings and 47 runs in Multan. Pakistan trail 0-1 in the three-match series, but this isn’t the only concern for a team that has not won a Test in over 1,331 days. Batters have not been able to lead from the front, while the bowlers have been hiding behind the debate of “lifeless tracks”. Amid criticism of the players, former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria is the latest to jump the gun. While analysing the match, Kaneria highlighted the lack of quality players in the side. He also lashed out at star batter Babar Azam for making England bowlers look world-class on a batting-friendly track. Pakistan (556) and England (823/7d) scored a combine 1,379 runs in the first innings. “I feel like abusing them. You conceded 800+ runs. Even I have played cricket on such dead tracks. Where is …

“Mohalla Team Better Than Pakistan”: Spin Great Tears Into Babar Azam And Co, Asks Them To Learn From India

Published by Webster

Former Pakistan leg-spinner Danish Kaneria didn’t hold back in his scathing criticism of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the Pakistan team following their humiliating Test series loss to Bangladesh. It was Pakistan’s first-ever Test series defeat to Bangladesh and Kaneria expressed his frustration, even going so far as to say that “a mohalla team is better than them.” The two-match series saw Pakistan dominate the first Test with a resounding 10-wicket victory. However, in a shocking turnaround, Bangladesh chased down 185 runs in the second Test with six wickets in hand, marking the third-highest successful run chase by a visiting team on Pakistani soil. The loss has raised serious concerns about the direction of the team under Babar Azam‘s leadership. In an interview with IANS, Kaneria didn’t mince words while talking about the Pakistan team’s recent performance against Bangladesh. “The level of the Pakistan cricket team is so low that even a mohalla team is better than them, and all this is because of the PCB. They are to be blamed for …
