A former Essex bowler became the first English cricketer to be jailed for corruption on Friday for his role in a spot-fixing scam that has implicated Pakistan international Danish Kaneria.
Spinner Danish Kaneria was named in court as being involved in a spot-fixing scam, dealing yet another blow to Pakistan's cricketing image already mired by the sensational jail terms to former captain Salman Butt and two of his teammates for corruption last year.
The sentencing of an English former county cricketer who has pleaded guilty to spot-fixing has been delayed by a week.
An English county cricketer pleaded guilty on Thursday to a corruption charge linked to his bowling in a 40-over one-day game.
In a bid to revive his international career, discarded leg-spinner Danish Kaneria has met the newly-appointed Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Zaka Ashraf.
Pakistan's Danish Kaneria has taken exception to the statement given by banned skipper Salman Butt during the spot-fixing trial in London that he was introduced to agent Mazhar Majeed by the leg-spinner.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) wants to seek the investigation details from Essex police involving Pakistani leg-spinner Danish Kaneria in connection to Pro40 one-day match against Durham in 2009.
Following the directive of the Sindh High Court (SHC), Pakistan discard Danish Kaneria was left with little choice but to give a go ahead to the PCB to obtain the transcript of his session with the Essex police in connection with the spot-fixing.
Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik and leg-spinner Danish Kaneria are unlikely to get immediate relief from Pakistan Cricket Board's integrity committee and the duo might have to wait for some more time before they could be considered for national selection again.
The Pakistan Cricket Board's integrity committee on Sunday held back decision on the cases involving former captain Shoaib Malik and leg-spinner Danish Kaneria.
