Pakistans
former cricket captain Imran Khan called for giving a fitting punishment
to any player found guilty of spot
fixing during their recent tour of England."I
think there is a need to send out a message to youngsters...that crime does not
pay," Imran told Geo News channel on Sunday.
"I myself have come to know about these allegations
against our players from the media. I hope they are not true but if any player
is found guilty he should be made an example for future generations of
Pakistani cricketers."
British police said on Saturday they had arrested a
35-year-old man on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud bookmakers.
The arrest followed a newspaper report that Pakistan
players had been bribed to fix incidents in the fourth test against England,
which ended in defeat for the Pakistanis at Lord's on Sunday.
Imran led Pakistan
to victory in the 1992 World Cup and is now a respected politician.
