Imran says any guilty players must face tough punishment

KARACHI: Pakistan’s former cricket captain Imran Khan called for exemplary punishment to be given to any player found guilty of spot fixing during the tour of England.

“I think there is a need to send out a message to youngsters…that crime does not pay,” Imran said to a private TV channel on Sunday.

“I myself have come to know about these allegations against our players from the media. I hope they are not true but if any player is found guilty he should be made an example for future generations of Pakistani cricketers.”

British police said on Saturday they had arrested a 35-year-old man on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud bookmakers.

The arrest followed a newspaper report that Pakistan players had been bribed to fix incidents in the fourth test against England, which ended in defeat for the Pakistanis at Lord’s on Sunday.
