The leg-spinner is serving a life ban for spot-fixing. He was charged for encouraging former Essex team-mate Mervyn Westfield to concede 12 runs during an over of a one-day game against Durham in 2009.
In a series of tweets, the 39-year-old said that his case is not taken up the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) because he's a "proud Hindu".
Expressing his desire to take up a coaching role, Kaneria wrote that he will soon share the details of his correspondence with the PCB.

Earlier, Kaneria claimed that there were few Pakistan players who targetted him for being a Hindu during his time with the national team.
In 61 Test matches, Kaneria took 261 wickets - a figure only bettered by Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Imran Khan. He also played 18 ODIs for Pakistan, claiming 15 wickets.
He last played for Pakistan in a Test match against England at Nottingham in August, 2010.
