The ICC wants to act on the match fixing allegations in England against the Pakistan cricketers only after the police has evidence and has the report behind it. But the ICC President will be speaking to representatives of the England and Wales Cricket Board and the Pakistan Cricket Board.
Sharad Pawar has promised the tightest of punishment for those guilty. However, the movements of the ICC will be cautious, that is the indication, ”
If this is established, there will be quite a serious view that will be taken by the Pakistan Cricket Board, the England Cricket Board and the ICC. I am absolutely confident that both boards will never encourage protecting anybody who has done a wrong thing. Whatever the allegations, the allegations themselves are quite serious.”
Pawar told mediapersons, “We have discussed it within the ICC and have decided that let us wait for the police’s investigation report. After that we have to take a viewpoint of the two board, the Pakistan Cricket Board and the England and Wales Cricket Board. Until and unless the process of investigation is over, it is improper for me to react. There is a conference call that I will be attending in which somebody from the ECB and the PCB would be.”
The pressure on the ICC will no doubt be tremendous given that the ICC Anti Corruption and Security Unit will come out looking shabby given that the spot fixing was exposed by a journalistic adventure rather than proper ICC procedure.
