Pakistan leg-spinner Danish Kaneria said on Friday he would appeal the lifetime ban handed down to him by the England and Wales Cricket Board for his role in a spot-fixing scandal.

Mervyn Westfield was jailed for four months in February, but served two before being released in April, after admitting he accepted £6,000 to under-perform during a Pro40 match between Essex and Durham in 2009.

The now 24-year-old Westfield named his then Essex team-mate Kaneria -- arrested with him in 2010 but released without charge -- as the link between bookmakers and players.
