Danish Kaneria is accusing me to get cheap fame, make money: Shahid Afridi

KARACHI: Former flamboyant all-rounder Shahid Khan Afridi clapped back at ex-spinner Danish Kaneria for accusing him of religious biasedness. 

Speaking to Geo News in response to Kaneria's allegations, Afridi said the former cricketer gave such statements to just gain unnecessary attention and earn money. 

“Look at his [Kaneria] own character. Everyone knows about him and his past. He is accusing me to get cheap fame and make money," Afridi told this correspondent. 

Afridi shared that he used to treat Kaneria as his 'younger brother'. "Kaneria was like my younger brother and I played with him in the department for many years,” he said. 

“He is giving interviews to our enemy country which can incite religious sentiments,” Afridi concluded. 

In a recent interview with Indian media, Kaneria had alleged that Afridi mistreated him for being Hindu and pressurized him to convert to Islam.

Former league spinner Kaneria is facing a ban for his involvement in a spot-fixing case.
