This comes after Yuvraj and Harbhajan posted twitter messages, asking people to help former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi’s foundation, which has joined the fight against the Corona pandemic situation in Pakistan also.

Danish Kaneria has raised the issue of Pakistan’s minorities in the past as well to restore their rights and dignity.

Kaneria stoked a controversy  in December last year when he alleged a huge mistreatment on him by Pakistan Cricket Board and its long time mentor Javed Miandad towards a minority Hindu cricketer as a course of  discrimination and deprivation.
