MS Dhoni welcomes the verdict against the Pakistani trio – Cricket News Update
Indian captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028, has welcomed the verdict of the British Crown Prosecution about the spot-fixing controversy and said that it is about time that the International Cricket Council (ICC) cleaned the game of cricket, which was once known
as the ‘gentlemen’s game’.
A huge controversy arose when a British tabloid, News of the World, broke the story of deliberate no-balls during Pakistan’s tour of England last year. Fast bowlers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Asif-c1993 bowled those deliveries and the captain of the Pakistan
team, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Salman-Butt-c2418 was behind their back.
The trio faced healthy bans by the governing body of cricket earlier this year and now it is expected that these players will have to face punishment in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 as well.
Dhoni believes that these players brought disrepute to the game of cricket and also their country and after doing all this, they deserve to be punished.
The Indian captain said, "When you are representing your country, that is the worst thing you can do. So when you do the worst thing, be prepared for the worst."
The three of them were an integral part of the Pakistan and it was widely expected that the Green Shirts will struggle in International cricket after losing their major players; however, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 has proved that it is fertile land when it comes to producing
cricketers of International standard.
Another former Indian cricketer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Arun-Lal-c46114, has also stated that it is a massive opportunity for ICC to clean the game. He believes that the game of cricket suffered because of the whole controversy and it is about time that the cricket boards and the followers
of the game decide not to compromise on such evils.
“This is the time to cleanse the game. It’s fantastic that this was a criminal case. People have to be made accountable. It is an opportunity for the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625, Pakistan Cricket Board, Indian Cricket Board and to all others to put an end to this menace. It’s the
game, which suffers in the end,” he said.
Let us hope that this case is going to set an example for the cricketers all around the world and they shall play the game with honesty and integrity.
