SHC adjourns Kaneria’s case

Court has adjourned the hearing until August 18 after PCB legal adviser Taffazul Rizvi submitted a reply on the case.

KARACHI: The Sindh High court adjourned leg-spinner Danish Kaneria’s appeal against the national cricket body’s decision to refuse to select him.

The 30-year-old was not cleared to play by an integrity committee of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) after failing to satisfy them over the spot-fixing case last year. “The court has adjourned the hearing until August 18 after PCB’s legal adviser Taffazul Rizvi submitted a reply on the case,” said the court’s orders after the hearing. “The court has ordered Kaneria to get another opinion from his British lawyer and submit it before the integrity committee and the matter will then be decided,” said Rizvi.
