Adopt zero-tolerance policy against corruption, Ramiz Raja advises PCB – Cricket News Update
Former Pakistan captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ramiz-Hasan-Raja-c83872, has asked Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to any misconduct and corruption by the national players.
He also pushed the governing body to take proactive measures in order to ensure that any scam will not affect national cricket in the future.
Ramiz’ advice for the Zaka Ashraf-led board came in the wake of Sport-fixing judgment against three Pakistani cricketers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mazhar-c75448
Majeed.
The Southwark Crown Court in London handed over varied prison terms to their trio and their agent earlier this week. The scandal about the deliberate no-balls during the Lord’s Test against
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 in 2010 was unveiled by a journal, News of the Week.
Saddened by the Spot-fixing verdict, Ramiz stated that PCB needs to set a proper mechanism in a bid to curb corruption in the game.
“From the board's point of view, I feel there should be zero tolerance when it comes to indiscipline. They should put in legislation at every level of the game from under-19 and first class
cricket to ensure that they boss the game in a proper manner. They should also create a healthy environment in the dressing room by making sure that you get the right people governing the cricket team," Ramiz told Gulf News.
At present, the former batsman is in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758. He was not worried
about the present environment in the Pakistan dressing room, as the players are well focussed on their game.
Asked whether http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) is playing its role properly, Ramiz opined that ACU officers don’t have powers which they should have, adding that the international governing
body of the game must take every necessary step against the wide-spread menace.
"I don't think that they can have the powers of a policeman or a police department, so I think they are out there as a deterrent. They need to keep an eye on everything," added the 49-year-old
cricketer-turned-commentator.
