"Most of the match-fixing cases we are currently investigating are linked to Indian match-fixers," said Steve Richardson, coordinator of the International Cricket Council's anti-corruption unit. He also appealed to India to enact strict laws for match-fixing. Notably, there is a strict law to take legal action against match fixers.
The ICC's anti-corruption unit is investigating match-fixing and spot-fixing incidents. According to the ICC statement, the fixers involved in most of the cases are from India. The challenge now is to maintain the integrity of the game against the ICC and the BCCI.
The IPL is organized by the Indian Cricket Board. However, officers of the BCCI's anti-corruption unit are deployed to keep the fixers away. However, an official from the ICC's anti-corruption unit said the biggest risk at the moment was in the league of states held at the local level.
Steve Richards added, "We have about 50 cases of fixing pending, all of which are linked to India." India, like Sri Lanka, needs to enact stricter laws on match-fixing. Sri Lanka is the first country to legislate to combat match-fixing. Sri Lankan cricket is very safe now. The Australian board is vigilant. India does not have a law on match-fixing, which is why effective measures are not taken.
