However, the statements released by Rashid showed that Grayson and Westley had only good words to say about the Pakistani cricketer and that he always performed for Essex, the report said.

Latif, on Sunday, said he would soon be disclosing details of more documents relating to Kaneria''s case, which would further raise questions whether the leg-spinner had got justice from the ECB, the report added.
