England’s Test captain, Andrew Strauss, has raised questions about the functions of the anti-corruption unit of the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Strauss was part of last year’s controversial series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 where an English tabloid ‘News of the World’ broke the story about Pakistani bowlers bowling deliberate no-balls in the Lords Test.
As a result, former Pakistan captain http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Asif-c1993, are facing lengthy bans from all forms of cricket.
The feft-handed opener believes that majority of match-fixing and corruption in the game stems from the Subcontinent, especially India. However, he does not agree that match-fixing is exclusive to players from South East Asia.
He criticized the performance of the anti-corruption unit and said that they do not have enough facilities to combat match-fixing and corruption in cricket.
There have been a number of question marks about some of the matches of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shane-Keith-Warne-c89672, had posted
on his Twitter account before the match that it will be a tie.
England’s Test captain believes that there is a lot more corruption in the game and majority of the people do not even have an idea about it. He hopes that the bans imposed on some international cricketers will turn out to be good for the game.
