LAHORE Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif has questioned the International Cricket Council (ICC)s ability of handling corruption in the game, and said that tougher laws were needed to counter the menace. The ICC is not making tougher laws and thats why their role is questionable, The Age quoted Latif, as saying. I also doubt the sincerity of cricket boards and the ICC to put a lid on this wrongdoing, he added. Latif said that the Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) set up by the governing body had also failed to serve the purpose. These ex-policemen (ACSU officials) may have been very good in their field, but cricket is a different ball game altogether and only a cricketer can see an irregularity during a match, Latif said. The ACSU does not have the right to conduct raids or arrest people, what they only do is to ask players to avoid suspicious people. All in all, the unit is toothless, as their recourses are limited, he added. He also called for new rules in one-day and Twenty20 cricket to minimize fixing. In my opinion, power plays in limited-over matches encourage spot-fixing, so there is a need to change the laws. I proposed changes in the rules some years back, but the ICC did not pay attention to them, he added. ICC seeks phone record of Butt, Akmal The International Cricket Council (ICC) has reportedly directed Salman Butt and Kamran Akmal to give details of their mobile telephones for investigation into possible spot-fixing during the Asia Cup in June. Butt and Akmal were contacted by the ICCs Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) after suspicions arose during the tournament in Lanka. The demand came in a letter, dated August 21, which was sent to the two players before details of the News of the World exposed the 'no-ball scandal in the Lords Test against England. The ACU expect the full cooperation of both players, but have yet to receive a response from the Pakistan camp, reports said. The news will dismay the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and players, who had made it clear that they were not prepared to play Pakistan in the ODI series if the players accused of corruption were still in the opposing line-up. Butt has been suspended over allegation of involvement in the Lords Test 'spot-fixing scandal, but Akmal is part of the team scheduled to play the second Twenty20 match in Cardiff.
