ECB finds Kaneria guilty of spot-fixing
According to a statement, Mervyn Westfield was also found guilty.
"The panel will now consider the appropriate sanction against both players and a decision is expected later today (Friday)," said the statement.
Earlier, Kaneria had challenged the ECB through his lawyer Farogh Nasim after the organisation summoned the leg-spinner for a disciplinary hearing into corruption charges.
The ECB wanted Kaneria in for the hearing after he was named in a London court as a go-between in the scandal following which his former Essex teammate Mervyn Westfield was given a four-month sentence.
The leg-spinner was arrested in 2010 along with Westfield on suspicion of spot-fixing during an Essex match against Durham in 2009 before being released without charge.

He was the first guy involved in spot fixing and to date he was roaming free without any charges. Very happy to know that he has been finally convicted and found guilty.
salman Butt released yesterday and banned one today, great timing. So held him in jail as well.
If found guilty.. punish him.!!
