PCB refutes Aamer's ignorance claim over fixing

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has refuted the claim of convicted pacer Muhammad Aamir that the board had not educated him about anti-corruption codes that players are to abide by. A PCB statement says that the board had handed over Muhammad Aamir with Code of conduct, with its duly translated Urdu version too, besides having him attend many lectures about the pitfalls of corruption.
The statement said that the claim of the fast bowler was in total contradiction to the facts. In March 2010, Aamir signed the Code of Conduct for players when he was issued his Central Contract. The code of conduct clearly states that by signing the same the player commits to abiding by all ICC rules regarding betting, match fixing, corruption, and any matter that could call into question the integrity of the game. Aamir acknowledged that he understood the code and his responsibilities under the same. Aamir also committed that he would abide by these rules and any others formulated in this regard.
In addition to the above the ICC Code of Conduct is an integral part of the players Central Contract. Numerous clauses of the Central Contract clearly state the players' responsibilities under the codes and the need to avoid any conduct that could be against the spirit of the game. It may be noted that players are given Urdu translations of the Central Contract along with the English version when signing the same, the statement added.
Furthermore, Aamir participated in a number of ICC tournaments including the U-19 World Cup and two T20 world cups where he attended anti corruption lectures. Before any International tour, of which Aamir was a part of as well, the team management gives a number of lectures to the players warning them of the dangers of associating with strangers
Moreover, former test cricketers have demanded thorough investigations and accountability of team officials including Manager, Assistant Manager, coaches etc to completely eliminate corruption from Pakistan cricket. "Like players, officials are equally responsible in failing to monitor and check corrupt activities going right under their nose," former Pakistan Captain Rashid Latif said in reaction to sentence to Pakistan trio of Salman Butt, Muhammad Asif and Muhammad Aamir.
