Danish Kaneria admits spot-fixing after six years and apologises to Essex
- From the section Cricket
Former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria has admitted involvement in spot-fixing after six years of denial.
The 37-year-old has also apologised to former Essex team-mate Mervyn Westfield, who faced time in jail after Kaneria encouraged him to spot-fix.
Leg spinner Kaneria, who unsuccessfully appealed against a life ban from playing in England and Wales, says he "cannot live a life with lies".
"It's been six years. I lost everything," he told Al Jazeera.
"I lost friends, respect from fans.
"I want to apologise to Mervyn Westfield, my Essex team-mates, Essex Cricket Club and the fans, to Pakistan and my fans around the world. And to my wife and family - I have let them all down."
