Legendary Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi has insisted there is no truth in former leg-spinner Danish Kaneria’s claims that he was discriminated against.
Kaneria claimed that he had been the victim of religious discrimination while playing for Pakistan since he is Hindu.
In fact, it was legendary Pakistan pace bowler Shoaib Akhtar who first made the claim before Kaneria backed it up and called on other players to come forward and confirm this.
However, like ex-batsman Mohammad Yousuf, former captain Inzamam-ul-Haq and batting great Javed Miandad, Afridi insisted that he never saw this happen.

Gherna chahrehen haina Kaneria ko. Poor guy may be stuck with the dirty Afridis & others.
Pakistanis are known for being from the denial order.
Imran, perhaps can help him now.
Not sharing water, eating from a untouched vessel of the Hindus is well known. The Pak cricketers should show their true worth now.
The cheap uneducated moron called Miandad should speak the truth or keep his trap shut.
Yes, thankyou for that decidedly balanced and impartial opinion Jitha 🙂
