Mani: 'No one can claim the game is 100% clean'

Ehsan Mani, the ICC president, has said that while he is confident that match-fixing has been stamped out, he is not so sure that the all corruption has yet been eliminated.

Speaking in Lahore, Mani told reporters that while widespread fixing was no longer happening, it was still possible that a few individuals were involved in skullduggery.

"We have put in a lot of efforts to eliminate match-fixing and have gained success in it, but there might be chances that individuals may be involved in turning the fate of a match and the ICC was working in this direction to find ways to control it," he explained. "No one can claim the game is 100% clean and free from corruption. Individually, some people may be involved."

He praised the efforts of the Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) and said that it was trying to address the match-fixing issue related to individuals. But, added Mani, the very existence of the ACU had proved to be a huge deterrent since 2000.
