Former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria has been in the news since the time his religion issues became headlines. Although he earlier told many of his teammates didn’t want to have food with him, he recently told some asked him to change his religion as well.

“Please Accept Islam.. Islam is gold. I know but that without Islam life is nothing. Your life a death people. Please accept this Gold. And Say to Kalma Sharif. Thanks,” the fan named Amna Gull tweeted.

Kaneria replied: “Many people like you tried to change my religion, but did not succeed”.

Dinesh Kaneria came in the limelight last year after admitting that he faced discrimination in the team for being a Hindu. Former speedster Shoaib Akhtar was the first to share this story that Kaneria was mistreated in the cricket team due to his religion during his playing days. Akhtar also revealed that the Pakistani teammates even barred him from picking up food from the same table as their different religion.

“The players who didn’t like to talk to me just because I was a Hindu. Soon I will reveal their names. I did not have the courage to speak in this regard, but now I got the courage to speak on this issue when I heard Shoaib’s statement,” Kaneria had said but he never revealed the names of the players.

Danish Kaneria, however, placed at fourth on the list of bowlers with most Test wickets for Pakistan and also he was the second Hindu to play for Pakistan after Anil Dalpat. Kaneria picked up 261 Test wickets and 15 ODI wickets for Pakistan during his 10-year international career. After allegations of being involved in the spot-fixing scandal, he was given a lifetime ban by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).
