Cricket: Pakistan board warned over future handling

An International Cricket Council investigation may have cleared Pakistan of any wrongdoing in the third one-day international against England last month, but the country's board have been issued with a stern warning over their future handling of the game.

The ICC board met this week for the first time since damaging spot-fixing allegations against Pakistan surfaced.

And, while an investigation continues into suspended trio Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir, additional claims relating to the match at The Brit Oval on September 17 were rejected as having "no compelling evidence to suspect individual players or support staff".

The ICC Board agreed on eight new measures designed to "protect the integrity of the game and restore confidence" - each of which were approved by the Pakistan Cricket Board.

Included in these measures were resolutions that the PCB "act and be seen to be acting to uphold the zero tolerance attitude to corruption in sport", and implement robust education and disciplinary models in line with the ICC's own code.
