Former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq has come out in support of banned leg-spinner Danish Kaneria, saying he had never seen the bowler indulge in any type of activity during his career that would cast doubts over his integrity.
"As a professional and as a friend I have never known Danish to be involved in any matters which would cast doubts over his integrity," Inzamam said in his signed statement.
Inzamam's statement has come after Pakistan's former captain Rashid Latif has taken up cudgels to pressurise the Pakistan Cricket Board to reopen or review Kaneria's case with the England and Wales Cricket Board.
Inzamam also said Kaneria always gave his 100 per cent while playing for Pakistan.
"Danish has always given 100 per cent to Pakistan cricket and I have witnessed number of times him turning in match winning performances," Inzamam, who played 120 Tests and 378 One-day Internationals, said.
"During this time, I have known Danish as a man of integrity and passionate about cricket. His love for the game is immense and his commitment has never wavered. He has been a successful player and is recognised across the world as one of the best spin bowlers," Pakistan's most capped player said.
