KHURRAM SHEHZAD AWAN:
International cricket council (ICC) and betting companies polluting the whole cricket environment as betting companies like Bet 365 and bet pro are the main sponsors during the Pakistan vs Australia series in Australia.
According to the reliable sources the role of ICC is suspicious and definitely involved in the match fixing with the partnership with betting companies. How it is possible that if a match is live on betting sites so it is for sure that the matches are fixed and billions of dollars are involved in the matches. Cricket is not a game but a business right now.
Pakistan is on tour to Australia and during the first test at Melbourne cricket ground (MCG) boundary sign boards are full of betting sites marketing like Bet365 everyone can watch as a proof.
There are two big betting sites in the world which includes Betfair and Bet365 , if betting company is the sponsor of the event then matches are fixed and betting is on,
ICC should be accountable for polluting the whole cricket environment by involving in the betting but who will ask from ICC? It is a million dollar question.
Match fixing is not a new topic in cricket, lots of cricketers have ruined their career after involving in the match fixing or spot fixing as Pakistani cricketers Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Asif and Salman butt are the famous fixers who sold their country name for the sake of earning illegal money. If players are involved in the fixing and they were punished and banned but now ICC its self is involved in the match fixing so what happens next ?
ICC should make a clarity statement on their involvement in the match fixing with betting companies and tell the whole cricket world about this bullshit which is happening under the banner of ICC.
