Young players to get anti-corruption message in New Zealand Lynn McConnell - 10 January 2002
All teams competing in the ICC Under-19 World Cup starting in Christchurch on Saturday next week will be spoken to by representatives of the International Cricket Council's anti-corruption unit. Sixteen teams, from all 10 Test playing nations, as well as Scotland, Canada, Namibia, Nepal, Papua New Guinea and Kenya will take part in the tournament which has its opening ceremony in Christchurch on Monday and its first official game at Bert Sutcliffe Oval when host team New Zealand meets Sri Lanka. New Zealand Cricket's tournament director Tim Murdoch said today that he is scheduled to have a meeting with the ACU people next week. Teams are spread through Auckland, Christchurch and Dunedin during the initial phases of the tournament with the top six playing the latter half of the tournament in Christchurch and the next six playing in Auckland. "We're fully supportive of them being here and taking the chance to talk to these young players," Murdoch said. "They are the cream of the future Test prospects from around the world and to speak to them about their obligations to the game, and what they should do if they are ever approached will be good educational value for the players," he said. © CricInfo
