ECB Seeks SHC Help To Recover Fixing Fine From Kaneria

KARACHI: English cricket powers on Wednesday requested that a Pakistani court help them recuperate just about £250,000 ($390,000) in fines and expenses leveled against banned leg-spinner Danish Kaneria for spot-settling. 

A disciplinary board of the Britain and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) banned Kaneria in June 2012 after he was discovered blameworthy of debasement while playing for Essex province in a constrained overs coordinate in 2009. 

The board forced a fine of £100,000 on Kaneria. He lost his second and last claim against the punishment in August 2014. 

Khawaja Naveed, an attorney for the ECB, said the appeal in the Sindh High Court (SHC) in Karachi requests Kaneria pay the fine and also extra expenses acquired through the span of the case. 

"I have documented an appeal for the benefit of the ECB in which we have requested that an aggregate expense of £249,000 be recuperated from Kaneria," Naveed told AFP. 

Naveed said a notification would be issued to Kaneria by Saturday and in the event that the previous leg-spinner neglects to pay the ECB had requested that the court request the previous player offer his property. 

Kaneria, who said a year ago he would consider engaging in either an European court or the Court of Mediation for Game in Switzerland, told AFP he had not yet gotten formal warning of the activity. 

"I now think about this through the media and in the event that I get any notification I will counsel my legal advisors," he said. 

Under Universal Cricket Gathering standards, a restriction on a player by any part nation is relevant all around, however Kaneria participated in a private T20 cricket class sorted out in the US a year ago. 

Kaneria is Pakistan's best Test spinner with 261 wickets in 61 matches. 

He is likewise just the second-ever Hindu to play for Pakistan at the most elevated amount - the first was his wicket-keeping cousin Anil Dalpat - and was something of an ideal specimen for the nation's minorities until his ban.
