ISLAMABAD - Mickey Arthur, Pakistan head coach, on Sunday praised an unnamed player for reporting a spot fixing approach as “a real example to our team”.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Saturday confirmed a player was approached with a fixing offer during the ongoing one-day series with Sri Lanka but he reported the matter to the Board's anti-corruption unit. Pakistani media named the player as skipper Sarfraz Ahmed.
“To be honest the player reacted unbelievably well,” Arthur told media at Sharjah stadium. “He did everything required of him and we had a chat straight afterwards."
“It was handled brilliantly and I think that is a real example to our team and to the cricket world that a really important player was approached and acted to the letter of the law and did exceptionally well as a true ambassador of the game,” he added.
