Danish Kaneria's appeal to Imran Khan

''After I was banned which was also accepted by me, I had approached all the chairpersons of the Pakistan Cricket Board as well as the Prime Ministers who have come and gone. I kept on knocking at their doors but they did not even bother to address my issue. I had even requested Imran Khan and I had even been to a lot of channels and requested them as well. So, every time I have felt that everyone has discriminated against me'', said Danish Kaneria on his Youtube channel.

When I had discussed about this in the past, I was accused of playing the religion card. I have not played any religion card but what should I assume after the ill-treatment that  I have received? I am not playing any religion card. I am just asking for my right being a Pakistani citizen. At least honour the performances that I have showcased for my country. If that is not honoured then what is it other than discrimination?

''Again and again, I am requesting the Pakistan Cricket Board and Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is also the patron in chief of Pakistan Cricket Board because he is sitting in such a high post where he can help me. If he cannot help then this is a clear case of discrimination''.

'Even the ICC did not help me': Kaneria

The veteran spinner also went on to say that even the governing body of world cricket, International Cricket Council (ICC) did not help him either.

''Personally, I had requested ICC and had also sent them e-mails and ICC had replied to me that I being a Pakistani cricketer I have Pakistan Cricket Board and it is their responsibility plead your case as it is a matter of the domestic cricket in England and no player can come forward and plead their case personally in ICC and despite so many requests, I did not get any reply.
