http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Khan-c71319 calls for radical changes in cricket system – Cricket News Update
The former Pakistani skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imran-Khan-c64237, has stressed the need for changes in the national cricket system in order to curb corruption and prevent the tainted trio-like scandals in the future.
Khan is of the view that the entire set up should be reshuffled from top to bottom so that any possibility of corruption can be nailed. The legend has termed the threesome’s demise as the result of a crooked society which provokes youngsters to seek short
cuts for success.
The World Cup winning pace master has expressed heartiest sorry for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Salman-Butt-c2418 who have been sentenced varied jail terms by the Southwark Crown Court of United Kingdom.
Talking to the media, Imran said, “I feel very sad not only for the players but for Pakistan and its cricket. But the fact is that when these players see corrupt people flourishing in our society they think they can get away with anything."
He further told, “I think what is most important is that our cricket system needs to be radically changed. Only then will we be able to rid ourselves of corruption in cricket.”
The three young and talented Pakistani cricketers, who were reported to have practiced spot-fixing in a Test match at Lord’s last year, were consigned severe punishments by the Jury. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Salman-c88163 got a 30-month imprisonment, followed by Asif (12 months) and Amir
(6 months). The architect of the entire scam, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mazhar-c75448 Majeed, was given two years and eight months in jail.
This castigation is coupled with a five-year suspension which International Cricket Council (http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625) imposed in February this year. It is a common notion among all cricket analysts and experts and the chastisement will bring a tragic end to the sky rocketing
careers of the trio.
Khan has termed this fiddle as a great setback for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 cricket and image. He opines that this incident should serve as a wake-up call for the national cricket authorities who need to take proactive measures in this regard.
Khan, who fabulously led the Men in Green to clinch 1992 World Cup title, played 88 Test and 175 ODI matches from 1971 to 1992.
