‘Happened to me every day…’: Danish Kaneria reveals facing religious bias in Pakistan cricket team

Former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria has continued to take a dig at Pakistan cricket team on Twitter. He has been quite vocal on social media ever since the marquee clash between India and Pakistan took place on October 14. The video of several Indian fans targeting Mohammad Rizwan on the basis of religion has gone viral as well.

Amidst the backlash, Kaneria has revealed that there is religion bias even in Pakistan cricket during his playing days. Perhaps, he has stated that he faced issues due to his religion almost every day be it in the dressing room or on the field or even on the dining table. The former Pakistan leg-spinner also posted an old video of Ahmed Shahzad telling Sri Lanka’s Tillakaratne Dilshan some religious things.

He can be heard saying, “If you are non-muslim and you turn muslim, no matter whatever you do in life, (you will go) straight to heaven.” While Dilshan’s reply was inaudible, it seemingly felt that he denied the same. In response to this, Shehzad can be heard saying, “Then be ready for the fire.”
