Karachi: Shoaib Akhtar's claim that some Pakistani cricketers refused to have food with banned spinner Danish Kaneria has sparked a controversy which seems unending. Kaneria who belongs to the minority Hindu community in Pakistan has been said to have been ill-treated by the Pakistan Cricket team, however, former skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq refuses to believe so.
Inzamam said he never felt any such thing when Kaneria played under him. The former Pakistan skipper's comments were uploaded on social media in a series of tweets by Pakistani journalist Saj Sadiq.
"The captain who Danish Kaneria played under the most was me and I never felt that there was any such thing in our team, that any player treats another player badly if he is a non-Muslim. I never noticed even a single example of any such thing in our team," Inzamam was quoted as saying by the journalist.
"I am not ready to accept Danish Kaneria's claim that we have such small hearts, that we would do a thing like this and that we didn't accept someone. I think Pakistanis have big hearts and we can accept everyone in our hearts," he added.
