Citing examples of Shane Watson and Brad Haddin, FICA chief Tim May yesterday revealed that players are hesitant to approach ICC's Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) when approached by bookies
Citing examples of Shane Watson and Brad Haddin, FICA chief Tim May yesterday revealed that players are hesitant to approach ICC's Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) when approached by bookies.
"Why didn't Watson's revelation come out to public last year? There is a problem." May told MiD DAY.
May said that the ACSU should have been outspoken about a Sri Lankan player being investigated. "There is a fundamental issue if the boards are coming out to report that a player is being grilled by ACSU.
That doesn't help the unanimity process. Everyone needs to be more forthcoming."
He said that the spot fixing scandal could be a blessing in disguise. "Perhaps this will ensure players associations grow stronger."
May also called for a stronger anti-corruption code.u00a0 "ACSU doesn't have powers of going undercover, or doing sting operations. We need to develop a culture against corruption. There are ways that would help curb corruption -- from better remunerations, to stronger players associations, better relationships between players, boards and officials," he said.
