Pakistan leg-spinner Danish Kaneria, who is playing for English county Essex, was arrested and later released on bail by Essex police following the police's investigation into alleged spot-fixing in his team's Pro40 match against Durham last September.
Essex's young fast bowler Mervyn Westfield has also been arrested along with Kaneria.
"Both men appeared at Brentwood police station Friday and were questioned under caution before being released on bail until Sept 15, pending further inquiries," said a report in Daily Telegraph.
As neither has yet been charged with any offence, both are free to continue playing cricket until then, by which time Pakistan will have completed their Test series against England. That should allow Pakistan's selectors to at least pick Kaneria.
