Kaneria angry over one-day snub

Pakistan's Danish Kaneria has hit out at the selectors after being overlooked for the one-day series in South Africa.

Kaneria is in a provisional 30-man squad for the World Cup but fears he will miss out on the final 15-man list.

"I am very much disappointed. I feel like the team management has let me down," the 26-year-old said.

"I was expecting to be given a chance in this series before the World Cup. I don't understand why I am not considered for the one-dayers."

Kaneria impressed in the 2-1 Test series defeat by South Africa, finishing with 15 wickets to take his overall tally of victims to 198 wickets in 46 Tests.

But he has played in only 16 one-day internationals.

"I have worked so hard and have given 110% for my captain and the team. I have also improved my batting and fielding," he added.

"I don't understand, unless they play me how can they know how I will perform in the one-dayers?

"My ambition is to play in the World Cup. But I don't know if I will get that chance now."

I totally agree with kaneria on the matter!what do you say?why is he not given a chance?
