5 best Pakistani spinners of all time

#5- Danish Kaneria (right arm wrist spin)

Kaneria in action against Australia

Danish Kaneria holds the record for most number of wickets by a Pakistani spinner. Kaneria who made his Test debut as a 19-year-old against England at Faisalabad ended Mushy's Test career in the early 2000’s. Though, not as lethal as his predecessors Mushtaq and Saqlain, Kaneria was a more than a handy successor bailing out Pakistan from many precarious situations.

The Pakistani achieved his career-best figures against Bangladesh in the year 2003 when he took 7/77 at the Bangabandhu National Stadium. In the later half of his career, he played a pivotal role in Test wins against England, New Zealand and India. Kaneria never found a permanent place in the ODI XI, playing just 18 ODIs throughout his career. He was a member of Pakistan's squad in the 2007 World Cup.

Kaneria’s Test career spanned for 10 years and he played 61 Tests in the process. He played his last Test against England at Nottingham in 2010. Kaneria finished his Test career with 261 wickets at an average of 34.79, with 15 five wicket hauls.
