Tripathi, a Rajya Sabha member, also demanded that enact tough laws to deal with those involved in match fixing with provisions for a 10-year jail term for a guilty sportsperson and seizure of his assets.
"The player has made these assets and money through cricket and he has committed a fraud with the people who follow the game," he said.u00a0
