The body, after a tele-conference of its Board members yesterday, issued a statement saying that all member boards have agreed to introduce an anti-corruption code. The ICC had already asked all the member countries to sign a declaration that they and their players will share any information on corruption with the Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU).
ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat stressed the need for protecting the game from the menace.
“We had written to all ICC Members in October, requesting them to review the adequacy of their own processes and procedures to protect against the threat of corruption [domestic and international],” said Lorgat. “We’ve also told them that, where necessary, introduce new measures which would include a domestic anti-corruption code which mirrors the ICC code.”
“Where no domestic anti-corruption code exists the Board agreed that the template should be incorporated as soon as possible and where an Anti-Corruption Code does exist that a review of those rules should be carried out to consider their adequacy.”
