Sachin Tendulkar was awarded officially the Group Captain title for the IAF. However, naturally there were questions about match fixing revolving around the Pakistan cricketers.
Unfazed by the number of match fixing questions coming his way, the world’s leading run maker only stated that he would rather keep himself busy scoring runs, which was his business, rather than worry what was happening around.
He did earlier mention that he felt that those who were found guilty should be punished after the ICC conducted a proper investigation. He also claimed that he had no knowledge about Indian players being approached by bookies to fix matches during his twenty-one year career.
When asked if the young cricketers were susceptible to such situations because of the lure of money, Sachin stated rather frankly that when he wanted to play cricket, he did not come into the sport thinking he had to make money. And he claims even today, he does not feel he can sleep peacefully at night if he made more money and less runs.

Honorary IAF Rank for Sachin Tendulkar

Salman Butt Reportedly Found with Marked Notes from Mazhar Majeed’s Spot Fixing Sting

A British newspaper claims to have found the link between the money put forth by the News of the World with the Pakistan Test captain, Salman Butt.
Money found on Butt was reported to be marked bank notes that were supposedly sprayed with a purple dye with a special DNA marker. It was supposed to be the same currency given to the player agent/bookie, Mazhar Majood, by the undercover reporter.
Butt had reportedly told the police initially that the money found on him, about thirty-seven lakh rupees, was meant for his sister’s trousseau.
The ICC Anti Corruption Unit refused to confirm this news as part of the ongoing investigations.

Wajid Shamshul Hasan has reacted angrily to the ICC action to suspend the three accused Pakistan players, claiming it is an Indian conspiracy to isolate Pakistan and also, that the ICC would face legal action.
The Pakistan Commissioner to Britain reacted strongly to the news that the ICC had decided to charge Salman Butt, Mohammad Aamer and Mohammad Asif under the ICC Anti Corruption Code claiming that it was “unhelpful, premature and unnecessary considering the players had already voluntarily withdrawn from playing.”
Hasan even claimed that the ICC chief executive, Haroon Lorgat, had acted contrary to his meeting earlier yesterday evening and that the situation changed once Lorgat was talking to the ICC President, Sharad Pawar, over the phone.
Hasan also interpreted the signals from the police investigation as saying that the scandal revolving the spot fixing scandal involved Asian bookies and that it was the agent, Mazhar Majeed, who was culpable not the players which means that fingers could be pointed to India as the British police did not mention Pakistani.
The ICC has since reacted to say that the Pakistan Cricket Board was aware of what was follow.

England and Pakistan Reiterate Hope of a Scandal Free Test Series

The spot fixing scandal that has marred Pakistan’s tour of England has had some usual and unusual requests. You decide on this one.
Indian captain of the winning 1983 World Cup team, Kapil Dev, is calling upon the Pakistan captain of the 1992 World Cup team, to help Pakistan restructure itself around morals, ethics and values in light of the match fixing that has come to light.
Kapil Dev spoke highly of Imran Khan, “I appeal to Imran Khan to take charge of the current situation in Pakistan. Being the cleanest player, it’s he who can save and look after Pakistan cricket. None of us want the game in Pakistan to be finished, as this is one country that has produced some of the finest cricketers.”
Kapil said he had sympathy for the Pakistan cricketers but also reiterated that those found guilty of it should be taken to task, “I do feel sorry for Pakistani cricketers and Pakistan cricket. But at the same time, the alleged ones should be severely punished if proved guilty.
He also implored the International Cricket Council (ICC) to uphold the image of the game and get rid of people who have interests other than cricket, “I’m not qualified to say ICC should ban players. But I appeal to the governing body to look after the game and make sure right people investigate the current issue. It should ensure that betting scandals carried out by a handful of negative people do not taint the wonderful game.”
“Don’t bet on cricket,” was Kapil Dev’s warning to the budding youth wanting to play cricket professionally.

Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir provisionally suspended pending outcome of independent tribunal hearing.
The International Cricket Council has charged three Pakistan players with various offences under Article 2 of the ICC Anti-Corruption Code for Players and Player Support Personnel relating to alleged irregular behavior during, and in relation to, the fourth Test between England and Pakistan at Lord’s last month.

The three players, Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir, have been officially notified of the offences they are alleged to have committed and have been provisionally suspended pending a decision on those charges. In accordance with the provisions of the code, this means they are immediately barred from participating in all cricket and related activities until the case has been concluded.

The players have a right to contest this provisional suspension and a further opportunity to defend these charges at a full hearing before an independent Anti-Corruption Tribunal in accordance with Article 5 of the code. The players have 14 days from their receipt of the charge sheet to indicate their desire for a hearing.

Any player ultimately found to be guilty of committing an offence under the code would be subject to the sanctions described in Article 6 of the code. In this case, the alleged offences, if proved, would involve the imposition of a ban. There is also a possibility, at the discretion of the independent tribunal, that a fine would be imposed in addition to a ban.

ICC Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat said: “We will not tolerate corruption in cricket – simple as that. We must be decisive with such matters and if proven, these offences carry serious penalties up to a life ban. The ICC will do everything possible to keep such conduct out of the game and we will stop at nothing to protect the sport’s integrity. While we believe the problem is not widespread, we must always be vigilant.

‘It is important, however, that we do not pre-judge the guilt of these three players. That is for the independent tribunal alone to decide.’

Australia have announced their Test squad for the India tour that will see Australia take on the no.1 Test team.
Announcing the team, the convenor of selectors, Andrew Hilditch spoke of Australia’s challenge ahead, “India is ranked number one in Test cricket and there is no harder assignment in Test cricket at the moment than playing India on their home soil. The Australian squad is really looking forward to the challenge.
“The Australian team had a very successful home summer last year and an away series win against New Zealand. While it was disappointing to draw the series in England against Pakistan, the squad reflects the good performances of the team over the last 12 months as we continue to prepare for the Ashes.
“The squad we have selected sees the return from injury of Phillip Hughes and includes a very good mix of experience and new young talent with Steven Smith, Hughes and two young fast bowlers in Peter George and Josh Hazlewood. All these exciting young players have the potential to have a big impact in international cricket for many years.”

Australia’s Squad for India Test Series:
Ricky Ponting (captain), Michael Clarke (vice-captain), Doug Bollinger, Peter George, Nathan Hauritz, Josh Hazlewood, Ben Hilfenhaus, Phillip Hughes, Michael Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Simon Katich, Marcus North, Tim Paine, Steven Smith and Shane Watson

Shane Warne, the former Australian leg spinner and the Rajasthan Royals captain in the IPL, believes there is no place or mercy for match fixers in the game.
Warne himself was shrouded in mystery over alleged conversation with bookmakers which the Australian cricket board chose to cover up and deal privately.
Now Warne himself is keen that no mercy be shown to the players if they are found guilty, “If it is true and they have been found [guilty of] match-fixing and throwing games and spot-betting with the no-balls and stuff, if that’s the case they should be thrown out,
“It’s as simple as that. I don’t think there should be any other way to do it. If it’s fixed by players, they should be banned for life. Anyone who’s involved should be thrown out.”

After plenty of drama and then protacted silence, Pakistan has finally responded. But their responses have left the whole world taken aback. Here’s why.
The Pakistan Cricket Board chairman, Ijaz Butt, met with the three players in the eye of the storm, Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer in London. But it was Pakistan’s Ambassador to Britain who took the mic and what he had to say stunned more than a few people.
Wajid Shamsul Hasan spoke the media following the meeting with the three players who were called away from Taunton pending further investigation and spoke about it, “The three players have said that they are extremely disturbed by what has happened in the past week, especially in regard to their alleged involvement in the crime. They mentioned that they are entirely innocent in the whole episode and shall defend their innocence as such.
“They maintain that on account of the mental torture which has deeply affected them, they are not in the right frame of mind to play the remaining matches. Therefore, they have requested that the Pakistan Cricket Board not consider them for the remaining matches.”
Hasan also added, “Yes, I believe in their innocence. They are innocent. They are defending their innocence. They are not running away,” he said.

The Pakistan team manager made the announcement amidst great deal of speculation about the England Pakistan Twenty20 and ODI series.
Yawar Saeed refused to be drawn into the mental state of the three players in the centre of the spot fixing scandal, Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer. However, he did indicate that they were dropped for the Twenty20 and ODI series against England by stating that the Pakistan team was now reduced to thirteen players and three replacements would be sought for the series.
He also refused to be dragged into conversation about who had enforced this move, although it is believed that pressure emanating from the ICC, the England and Wales Cricket Board ( ECB )and indeed the public on the Pakistan Cricket Board ( PCB ) forced this decision upon Pakistan with a cloud hanging over the interest in the series following the scandal.
