Mohammad Sami, Azhar Ali, Taufeeq Umar, Mohammad Yousuf and Danish Kaneria were scheduled to leave to Dubai to join Pakistan team for test matches. Out of no where just before they left for Dubai bad news stopped Danish Kaneria from leaving to Dubai. PCB didn’t give clearance to leg spinner and he will not able to join Pakistan test squad in Dubai.

Zakir Khan said no reason has been provided for not giving him clearance. Ijaz Butt was also not available to comment on this issue. Kaneria was previously selected for test squad but it was also said that he will join test team after getting PCB clearance.

Kaneria was also playing in Pakistan domestic cricket. While playing for Habib Bank in Quaid-e-Azam Trophy he took 18 wickets in 2 matches. He also had 261 wickets in 61 test matches he played for Pakistan.

PCB decision becomes mystery for every one as there is no reason provided by PCB. Kaneria was also investigated for involving in spot fixing during the county match. It looked that No clearance might be the reason of warning issued by ICC to PCB to make good its structure. It is also a fact that Kaneria was also cleared by Essex police after investigations.
