THE INTERNATIONAL Cricket Council (ICC) has requested all players to sign an anti-corruption declaration as part of its attempt to ensure integrity in the game. ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat said that they have sent an advisory to all members “about the need to root out corruption.”
The International Cricket Council's chief executive Haroon Lorgat said, "we have issued a broad advisory to every ICC member about the need to root out corruption from our great sport. This advisory requests all international players and support personnel to sign a once-off declaration before participating in the next future tours programme match and or ICC event.
The issue of corruption has come into light after three Pakistan players Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir were implicated in a ‘spot-fixing’ and were later suspended by the sport’s governing body under its anti-corruption code. The players were alleged to be involved in bowling pre-planned ‘no-balls’ during their fourth Test at Lord’s against England.
Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt and young bowler Mohammad Amir have appealed against their suspensions and will appear before the International Cricket Council's code of commission in Dubai on October 30 and 31. Meanwhile, another Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Asif withdrew his appeal on Friday.
