ICC anti-corruption chief determined to ensure a clean tournament
ICC Anti-Corruption Unit Chairman Sir Ronnie Flanagan’s main priority ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy is to ensure that whoever claims the trophy, no team or player is susceptible to any form of corruption. The eight-team tournament will begin on June 1st as hosts England take on Bangladesh at the Oval in London, with a total of 15 games being played over 18 days. Sir Ronnie, who has been in charge of the Anti-Corruption Unit since 2010, believes that co-operation between players and their representative bodies and the ACU will be crucial in ensuring a corruption-free tournament. “We are one week away from a fantastic Champions Trophy. What a wonderful tournament, the best eight teams in the world for that format of the game, competing in 15 games over 18 days. It’s wonderful for the fans, millions of fans all over the world to have the opportunity to cheer on their team,” he said in a statement on Thursday.
“Come 18 June at the Oval there can only be one winner. What’s important for the anti-corruption unit is that no matter who is the winner, no matter who has the privilege of taking that trophy home to share the celebrations with their millions of fellow countrymen and women, everybody else in the tournament can say genuinely that they gave their best and that they were not susceptible to any form of corruption. That’s our job and we want to demonstrate through partnerships through so many people involved, most of all partnerships with the players, through their representative bodies, to demonstrate to the players that we, the ACU, are their friend.”
He said the ICC was there to protect them from the evil and criminal intent of others who would try and lure them into a trap in many ways, to manipulate an event which can facilitate illegal gambling through which organised criminals make a lot of money. “We saw recently in the Pakistan Super League in Dubai, instances that we will be guarding against in terms of the attempts to communicate with players and draw players in. We are very alive to that and very determined to keep it out of this tournament and other subsequent tournaments in the future.”
