Miandad demanded PCB to change policies designated for match-fixing cases.

KARACHI (Dunya News) – Former captain and star batsman Javed Miandad said that cricket structure in Pakistan needed an overhaul in order to curb the menace of match fixing. Miandad said that he will even favour death penalty for match-fixers.

Talking to media, Miandad said that money has become everything due to which the players commit spot fixing. He urged PCB to change policies designated for this heinous crime and demanded stern action against the accused.

Another former Pakistan team captain Shahid Afridi has demanded of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to take stern action and impose life ban if the players allegedly involved in the recent match-fixing scandal in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) are found guilty.

It is pertinent here to mention that Sharjeel Khan, Khalid Latif, Nasir Jamshed and Mohammad Irfan have already been conditionally suspended from all formats of the game due to alleged spot-fixing in second edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL), and Umar Amin and Zulfiqar Babar might be summoned by PCB soon as their names are also revolving in the fixing scandal.
