400 Pakistani players attend anti-corruption lectures but 3 banned cricketers not among them
By The Associated Press 49 minutes ago
ISLAMABAD The head of the Pakistan program to combat match-fixing says the three players suspended for corruption are not among the 400 who have already attended lectures.
Former Pakistan player Wasim Bari said on Thursday that because Salman Butt, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif have filed appeals "we can't include the trio in our education program."
Bari has been organizing lectures since late last year to all 22 regional teams, the national under-19 side and Pakistan A squad.
He says they're taught "how to avoid getting lured into corrupt practices" and "how they should interact with strangers."
Butt, Amir and Asif were banned for at least five years by the ICC in February after no-balls were bowled at predetermined times in a test.
