Sydney: Cricket Australia on Monday announced an amnesty for anyone coming forward with information relating to match-fixing or doping as it steps up its fight against corruption ahead of the World Cup.

Currently, players and officials can be suspended for up to five years and fined for failing to report a corrupt approach without delay or for not disclosing information about a cheating third party. But, in a bid to encourage people to come forward, an amnesty -- applying only to the reporting of information and not to players who have committed illegal acts themselves -- will be in place until the end of November.
