Don’t Call the Cricketer

Don’t Call the Cricketer

A Pakistan cricketer is under investigation for allegedly hiding a mobile phone inside his helmet before going out to bat. The incident is said to have taken place during a recent international match. The International Cricket Council’s (ICC) anticorruption hotline got a tip-off about the player who was said to have concealed the mobile inside his helmet. Under cricket’s anti-corruption laws, players are banned from using phones anywhere around a cricket ground during a game to prevent them from talking to people who want to fix the match. Three Pakistan cricketers are currently suspended by the ICC after claims that they deliberately missed balls as part of a betting scam.
