ICC should take action against the guilty: Tendulkar

New Delhi, September 03: Disappointed at the ‘spot-fixing’ scandal that has plunged the game into a crisis, senior Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar today said the International Cricket Council should thoroughly investigate the matter and take action against accused players if they are found guilty.

Tendulkar said if the scam, which has come to light after an “expose” by British tabloid ‘News of the World’, turn out to be true it will bring “disrepute to the game”.

“ICC should make a thorough probe in whatever had happened in England and take appropriate action if the players are found guilty. If the allegations are true, they will certainly bring disrepute to the game,” Tendulkar said.

“I am no expert and not the one to comment while sitting here in India on something which happened in England.
