Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria<\/a> agreed with Irfan Pathan<\/a>‘s assessment of Shahid Afridi<\/a>. During a recent appearance on a podcast, Irfan Pathan opened up about his battles with Afridi and how he dismissed him on 11 occasions in international cricket. Irfan Pathan minced no words as he labelled the former Pakistan captain a \u201cbadtameez aadmi (ill-mannered man).\u201d Kaneria has always been vocal about his issues with Afridi, accusing the latter of being discriminatory towards him during their playing days.<\/p>\n

During his interview with Lallantop, Pathan revealed that he was involved in a heated altercation with Afridi on a plane during his 2006 tour of Pakistan. Pathan alleged that it was the former Pakistan all-rounder who started the interaction by messing around with his hair.<\/p>\n

However, Pathan didn’t take kindly to this interaction as he was not friends with Afridi. The former Indian pacer, who was a youngster back then, did not hold back as he launched a scathing attack. \u201cThe childish behaviour was actually his. He was not my friend. After that, Afridi said some abusive words to me. His seat was right next to mine,\u201d said Pathan.<\/p>\n

“I said, “He (Afridi) has eaten dog meat, he has been barking for a long time” After that, Afridi couldn\u2019t say anything. Whatever he might have said, I would have just said, ‘Look, he is barking again,” he added.<\/p>\n

Danish Kaneria reacted to the viral video clip of the same, saying Afridi lacks \u201cclass and decency\u201d and he often resorts to personal attacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIrfan bhai, you\u2019re absolutely right. He always resorts to personal attacks\u2014be it on someone\u2019s family or their religion. Class and decency clearly aren\u2019t his strengths,\u201d Kaneria wrote on X (formerly Twitter).<\/p>\n

History between Kaneria and Afridi<\/p>\n

There is no love lost between Danish Kaneria and Shahid Afridi. Some years back, Kaneria alleged that he had to face religious discrimination while playing for Pakistan. He claimed that some of his teammates were reluctant to eat with him because of his faith.<\/p>\n

He also alleged that Shahid Afridi, a senior member of the Pakistan dressing room, encouraged other players to ostracise him.<\/p>\n

However, Afridi denied all these allegations, calling Kaneria a \u201cliar\u201d and trying to gain sympathy after being banned by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for involvement in a spot-fixing scandal in county cricket.<\/p>\n

Kaneria felt he was targetted by senior Pakistan players and was not given adequate support. On the other hand, Afridi accused Kaneria of not accepting his mistake and trying to gain sympathy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria agreed with Irfan Pathan‘s assessment of Shahid Afridi.
