BACKGROUND

The expression spot fixing has emerged by analogy with the gambling

term spot betting.

It was first came to spot light after the Lords Test in 2010 when three Pakistani

players were accused for spot fixing.

Even it started earlier a year ago in 2009 in a county cricket where former

Pakistani player Danish Kaneria and Mervyn Westfield were arrested onsuspicion of conspiracy to commit fraud.

ICC's Initiatives

RECOMMENDATIONS

ICC should put some terms and regulations into theplayers with whom they can contact with. This willprohibit them to fix meeting with gamblers.

ICC should also strictly monitor the player agentsthat are most of the time responsible for fixingthese meetings.

The rising popularity of T-20 cricket is helping thespot fixing to grow rapidly. ICC should not onlymonitor the international T-20 matches but also thedomestic leagues like IPL, Big Bash etc.

CONCLUSION

Through my hypothesis I wanted to prove some

points. I wanted to prove that spot fixing is more

popular than match fixing. In addition, I wanted to

prove that payers are doing it just because ofmoney. Besides, I wanted to prove that players are

the one who are only responsible for spot fixing.

Moreover, I wanted to prove that ICC should focus

more on players and ICC should ban players forever to get rid of this problem. So far most of the

research findings had agreed with my hypothesis

and I am happy with my research.
