Pakistan Cricket Board tightens agent rules


LAHORE: Pakistan cricket chiefs on Wednesday released a new set of tighter regulations for the registration of players’ agents in light of last year’s spot-fixing scandal.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in future approved agents needed to have clearance from the police and the cricket board of the country the agent lives in.

“These regulations shall be applicable with immediate effect to all persons wishing to act as agents for the cricketers who have or are representing Pakistan at all levels or who participate in cricket organised by the PCB,” a statement said.

The regulations follow a spot-fixing scandal involving three Pakistani players, Salman Butt, Mohammad Aamer and Mohammad Asif, and their agent Mazhar Majeed.

The three players have been handed lengthy bans on charges of corruption relating to last year’s Lord’s Test against England in which the trio were alleged to have taken money from Majeed for deliberately delivering no-balls.
