PSL - What measures have been taken to prevent corruption?

[in_cutter]

It's all well setting up a tamasha league- but what has PCB done to prevent match/spotfixing? The risks are high. Potentially, careers will be ruined.

I also find it hypocritical that most Pak fans are in support of such a league after all the negativity attitude towards IPL (there were cries of how it will ruin cricket...it is corrupt etc etc). So is it all hunky dory to hold our own league?

Bumping this thread I started in 2015. Has the PCB failed here?

Unless fixing actually took place in these first few games I don't think you can blame the PCB for players going out and meeting suspicious characters. I'm sure there have been plenty of Anti-Corruption lectures and briefings but at the end of the day the PCB can't control who the players go out and meet.

Evidently enough to catch a few players in the act..we should be positive that they have caught these people. .

No.

The anti corruption unit intercepted a phone call (whether this is fabricated or not is still pending) and have prevented anything major from occurring.

I don't understand why the pcb find it so difficult to explain to players that if they work hard and do well, they stand to make millions within two or three years if they make it to the international leagues. instead they happily prostitute themselves for paltry sums and happily spit on the country's name whilst they do it.

how difficult is it to present this concept convincingly even to idiots?

there are some very tough questions for the pcb. its good that they catch it, and its good that they decide on a zero tolerance policy - but their prevention is atrocious.

PCB is more to do with incompetency than corruption but good to see them for once showing great attitude against corruption. Its a great step.

I'm sure they done that plenty of time. Its only comes down to the idiocy of these players.

maybe. but it doesn't make sense to me. its such a massively one sided argument, it even appeals to the very greedy. sharjeel for example would almost certainly have several hundreds of thousands of dollars in his bank account within three years had he not done this.

given the quality of the pcb, the almost diabolical level of unprofessionalism throughout the past two decades, if theres one board that would have someone like wasim giving anti corruption advice, it would be them.

Just a couple of kanjoos, money-hungry players. Not sure what really could have been done about it.

 

[itsme]

No they are corrupt
