Financial ‘murder’ of Kaneria unfair

All around the cricketing world the managements take every possible step to preserve their assets. By asset I meant the players, however in Pakistan, the ideology is just opposite. In the past, careers of numerous cricketers were ruined and unfortunately the practice continues. I am amazed rather dejected the way leg spinner Danish Kaneria is being treated recently. He was, and still is a match winning bowler and more importantly the Pakistan team need him. He is the most successful spinner of the country, hence should be treated with respect. As far as his alleged involvement in fixing is concerned, I personally feel that the matter is being unnecessarily lingered on. If Kaneria committed the crime he is accused of, then why the Essex police and the ICC gave him a clean-chit? The experienced leg spinner has still a few years left in him and the way he is being treated is simply unfair. I would say it’s an economical murder of a player who has served the country very well and still eager to continue.
