Imran calls for adopting joint strategy to eliminate match fixing

Former skipper Imran Khan has said it is not easy to detect match fixing and spot fixing and all the countries will have to pursue a joint strategy to eliminate this menace.
According to media reports, Imran suggested that the best way to stop match fixing or spot fixing is that the assets of all the players be brought to open.
It is not easy for any one to prevent match fixing or spot fixing, he said, adding that players commonly commit mistakes where they get out due to poor shot selection, or bowl no balls and wide balls, hence it cannot be ascertained what ball has been bowled in return for dirty money.
He went on to say not only Pakistani cricketers but cricketers of other countries were also involved in match fixing.
Imran pointed out that it was not ICC, but a newspaper that caught Pakistani players, adding that when there was no one to unearth corruption and no accountability process then cricket can not be cleansed from corruption.
