62-year-old Javed Miandad gives a strong message
Former Pakistan captain Javed Miandad has sparked controversy, claiming that spot-fixing is akin to killing a person and therefore those found guilty of corruption in cricket should be hanged.
Players involved in spot-fixing should be severely punished, Miandad said.The spot-fixer should be hanged because it is similar to killing someone and hence the punishment should be on the same lines. An example should be set so that no player thinks about doing something like this, he said.
According to Miandad, things like spot fixing should be treated accordingly.
The 62-year-old also said that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was going wrong by absenting those involved in spot-fixing.
“The PCB is not doing the right thing by forgiving them. Those who bring these players back should be ashamed of themselves.
“I feel these players who are found guilty are not even sincere to their own families and parents or they would never do this. They are spiritually not clear. These activities are not good at all on humanitarian grounds and such people don’t deserve to live.
It is very easy for players to get involved in these corrupt practices, earn money and then use their influence and connections to make a comeback to the team, he said, advising players to earn money through their performance and hard work Granted.
