Most of the cricketers around the world are having much needed break as very busy period ahead. But the media is full of cricket news, most of them from outside the field. Things such as pot-fixing, match-fixing, alleged sexual offenses, drunk driving and messing with social media, are making headlines these days.Among all, alleged spot-fixing claims against three Pakistan players is the biggest scandal in cricket for many years. That's getting more and more attention as the tabloid paper that broke out the news is adding fuel to it day by day with new claims. While some are taking the swords against the players, some people are calling this is conspiracy. Are they true? Or they are some conspiracy against Pakistan players ? Only the people who involve in that knows the truth. Best thing for the cricket at the moment is, everybody has patient till the investigation finish and they give maximum possible punishment for whoever found guilty. Anyway, one thing is clear with this all. The system that in place to prevent these, is not effective. While punish the players who involve this, ICC should look what are the shortcomings from their side.
Though it's not get much attention internationally, Sri Lankan cricket circle also seems to be having small storm. Some websites are claiming that one of their star batsman, has committed sexual offense in Zimbabwe and is banned entering there. But those claims were not verified and Sri Lankan cricket denied these claims in press release. And two English players were fined last week for criticizing the management (mostly selectors) using social media network, twitter. Not long ago English spinner Graeme Swann's famous cat story made headlines. With all these last few weeks we had lost of drama outside the field. Let's hope we have some positive news from the coming days as Champions Leagues t20 and many bilateral series are starting.
