Corruption is not rife within cricket ICC anti-corruption head

The International Cricket Council (ICC) believes that high-level sport is clean and cricket corruption is rampant even though cheaters have improved their performance. Alex Marshall, General Manager of the ICC’s Anti-Corruption (ACU), told the BBC that the best way to eradicate corruption was to create a strong intelligence and education system.

“No,” he said. “Corruption is rampant in cricket.” He went on to explain the point that people who strive to ruin the game are full. “We have a very clean game, especially at a very high level. Sadly, unfortunately, the world is full of people who always want to make a lot of money by doing illegal and corrupt things and they look at cricket as an opportunity for success.”

The ICC has reduced the number of top cricket players by setting a deadline, some of which were Sanath Jayasuriya, Heath Streak and Nuwan Zoysa among others.

An ICC official, however, has acknowledged the game’s crooks, such as bookmakers, who use hidden technologies to avoid being caught and trying to break into franchise cricket. “Fraudsters find it even more complicated. They often use more sophisticated communication methods. They find new ways to make their money. They try to understand how they get into franchise competitions. game. “

The ICC’s chief investigator is also of the view that efforts are likely to undermine part of the game, not the entire game, by using a few key players. “Basically the cheaters do the hunt to find a way to touch a part of the game, not the whole game, and to do that they need one or two players, which is an opening member, captain or thrower. “

Marshall added that the ACU has been able to gather a lot of information about these abuses and has been successful in educating young people on how to avoid falling into its traps. “Increasingly, we are reducing the number of people who are spoiling cricket. We are following them. We are going anywhere in the world to disrupt their work. The number of spies we find within the game has increased. It’s very suspicious. Many young players come forward, testify, appear in court, and do the right thing. For me it’s healthy and they get a lot of confidence within the system to talk to us. “
