LONDON: The England and Wales Cricket Board has charged former New Zealand test player Lou Vincent and Pakistani pace bowler Naveed Arif with match fixing in two county matches.
The ECB said on Thursday that Vincent has been charged under its Anti-Corruption Code with a total of 14 offences related to the games played in August 2011, a Twenty20 match between Sussex and Lancashire and a 40 over game between Sussex and Kent.
Arif, who played for Pakistan A, is charged with six offences in relation to the 40-over game.
The board said both players have been provisionally suspended from all competition sanctioned by the ECB, the ICC and any other national cricket federation.

Another match fixing scandal and yet another green-shirt cricketer charged. What a tragedy?

Ouch, we thought that this episode of match fixing will be sans Pakistanis.
But we have managed to keep the cheating record intact.

How much more shame these cricketers would bring to the nation. Another Pakistani cricketer, another match fixing story. I am sure if he is convicted, he will come back to Pakistan and become a celebrity like so many others. If I was responsible for Pakistan cricket, I would not let these convicted criminals such as Amir, Salman & Asif, near a cricket pitch. Sadly all 3 convicted criminals who have spent time in jail in England, can be seen on TV giving opinions about the same game they brought shame to.
