KARACHI: In attempt to give a strong message to corrupt elements in cricket, former captain and head coach of the Pakistan team Javed Miandad has called for death penalty for players found guilty of match fixing.
Speaking to reporters in Karachi, Miandad said that strong laws and the implementation of law was needed to stop match fixing in Pakistan cricket.
"Authorities must take measures to stop this (corruption in Cricket). Why don't you take strong measures? You should give death penalty to such people," Miandad said while sharing his views on the recent spot fixing scandal that has hit the Pakistan Super League.
"We must not tolerate such things, not at all," said the legendary cricketer, who has represented Pakistan in 124 Tests and 233 ODIs.
He said that one strict punishment like this would save thousands of others from getting themselves involved in corrupt practices.
The former captain said that the upbringing of an individual is also to be blamed, as one behaves the way they are brought up.
"There is a problem that we do not have the courage to call spade a spade. Everyone is running after money and in such a scenario, what can you do?” he said.
The former coach said that he was saddened to hear about the current scandal and hoped that the culprits responsible would get exemplary punishment.
