Cape Town, September 14: The ICC today termed the recent spot-fixing allegations involving Pakistani players as a “warning” and said it will recommend a wide-ranging and, if necessary, independent review of the current anti-corruption measures to maintain the integrity of the sport.
In a statement issued after a meeting of International Cricket Council’s Chief Executives’ Committee (CEC) here, ICC CEO Haroon Lorgat said the governing body would try to engage governments in its bid to tackle curruption in the game.
“It is not enough that the ICC is regarded by other sporting organisations as a leader in the battle against corruption in sport. We must continue to assess and, where necessary, improve our processes. The recent allegations have reminded everyone of the need to remain vigilant and to ensure public confidence in our sport,” Lorgat said.
