I advise ICC’s anti-corruption unit to be more proactive, says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nasser-Hussain-c78777 – Cricket News Update
The former English skipper, Nasser Hussain, has urged International Cricket Council’s (ICC) anti-corruption wing to be more proactive in order to avert spot-fixing scams in the future, as he fears that the Pakistani trio-like fiddle may erupt again.
Hussian opines that the corruption charges against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Amir-c76675 should serve as a wake-up call for the world's cricket governing body, which needs to be alert now instead of relying on external reports. However, he has given
credit for the tainted trio’s punishment to the council.
Talking to the media today, the ex-captain said, “The crucial thing is that the game now deals as thoroughly as it can with this scourge. This cancer will resurface if it isn't dealt with properly. I would give some credit to the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 on this. Yes, it is
a wake-up call for them that the spot-fixing was exposed by a newspaper. I just hope now that the (ICC's) anti-corruption unit is a little more pro-active.”
He further told, “Rather than just waiting for a rumour to surface, I'd like to see them try to uncover problems themselves - even if that means setting up a sting operation.”
Following The News of the World’s breaking story regarding the threesome’s alleged involvement in spot-fixing during Team Pakistan’s Test match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 in August last year, the ICC imposed five-year bans on each of the them.
Now, a British crown court, after a long trial, has given a guilty verdict to the cricketers, who may also face a seven-year imprisonment penalty. Apart from Amir, who had already confessed his guilt, Asif and Butt were accused of fraud and corruption in
the yesterday’s court decree.
This biggest corruption scam of the recent history has wrung alarm bells all around the cricket world. The ICC is likely to devise a set of new laws that may assist in eradicating the evil. It is also encouraging its member boards to take drastic measures
in this regard.  
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 Cricket Board (PCB) has also formulated some strict rules to further prevent such type of mayhem which has brought sheer disrepute to the nation and the team.
