Imran says ICC is an 'impotent body'
Wisden CricInfo staff - March 14, 2002

Imran Khan, the former Pakistan captain, has criticised the International Cricket Council (ICC) for allegedly failing to solve match-fixing and umpiring problems. "The ICC could not solve the problems [of match-fixing and umpire issues] in a proper manner," Imran told reporters in Dhaka. "It is an impotent body."

He warned match-fixing was still a major blight on the modern game, but admitted it was often difficult to prove. "I believe that there is match-fixing in cricket," he said. "But it is very tough to prove unless there is an instance like Hansie Cronje."

Imran is in Bangladesh with his wife, Jemima, on a UNICEF child-welfare project.
