The England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has noted the remarks reportedly
made by MCC President, Lord Alexander of Weedon, that international
cricketers should be paid more so that they are less likely to be tempted by
offers to be involved in match-fixing.
The ECB Management Board takes the view that the pay of many international
cricketers has increased significantly in recent times and they are now well
rewarded for their skill and expertise and that, in any event, there is no
justification for any international cricketer to succumb to corruption.
