LONDON (Reuters) - Former Pakistan leg-spinner Danish Kaneria's appeal against his life-ban from cricket for spot fixing was dismissed by Britain's High Court on Tuesday.

Kaneria, who has repeatedly denied any involvement in trying to engineer particular situations in a game, was banned by the England and Wales Cricket Board in June 2012 after a disciplinary panel found him guilty of corruption while playing for county side Essex in 2009.
