2. CRICKET
• Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of
eleven players each on a cricket field, at the centre of which is
a rectangular 20-metre (22-yard) pitch with a target at each
end called the wicket (a set of three wooden stumps upon
which two bails sit). Each phase of play is called an innings,
during which one team bats, attempting to score as
many runs as possible, whilst their opponents bowl and field,
attempting to minimize the number of runs scored. When
each innings ends, the teams usually swap roles for the next
innings (i.e. the team that previously batted will bowl/field,
and vice versa). The teams each bat for one or two innings,
depending on the type of match. The winning team is the one
that scores the most runs, including any extras gained (except
when the result is not a win/loss result).

4. ICC• The International Cricket Council (ICC) is the
international governing body of cricket. It was founded as
the Imperial Cricket Conference in 1909
• The ICC is the global governing body for cricket.
Representing 105 members, the ICC governs and
administrates the game and works with our members to
grow the sport. The ICC is also responsible for the staging
of all ICC Events.
• The ICC presides over the ICC Code of Conduct, playing
conditions, the Decision Review System and other ICC
regulations. The ICC also appoints all match officials that
officiate at all sanctioned international matches. Through
the Anti-Corruption Unit it coordinates action against
corruption and match fixing.

6. BCCI

registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies
Registration Act. BCCI headquartered in Mumbai.

10. Unfair practices
• Fixing : 1.) Match Fixing
2.) Spot Fixing
• Betting
• Ball Tampering
• Honey Trap
• Fixing has happened in both international - including Test
matches and One Day Internationals - and domestic cricket. The
ban is issued by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the
sport's governing body, or by the respective cricket board(s) to
which the player belongs. A ban may be for match fixing or
spot-fixing. Both are banned under the ICC Cricket Code of
Conduct.

12. • Under Law 41, subsection 3 of the Laws of Cricket, the ball may be
polished without the use of an artificial substance, may be dried
with a towel if it is wet, and have mud removed from it under
supervision; all other actions which alter the condition of the ball
are illegal. These are usually taken to include rubbing the ball on
the ground, scuffing with a fingernail or other sharp object, or
tampering with the seam of the ball.
• Purpose
Generally, the purpose of altering the state of the ball is to achieve
more favourable bowling conditions. Examples of ball tampering
would include a fielder applying a substance, such as lip balm or
sweetened saliva, to shine one side of the ball or pick the seam of
the ball to encourage more swing. Conversely, roughening one side
of the ball by use of an abrasive or cutting surface (such as boot
spikes or bottle caps or sandpaper) is also ball tampering.
BALL TAMPERING

13. RECENT ISSUE
• In March 2018, the men's Australian cricket team was
involved in a ball-tampering scandal during and after
the third Test match against South Africa in Cape
Town when Cameron Bancroft was caught by television
cameras trying to rough up one side of the ball to make
it swing in flight.
• Captain Steve Smith and vice-captain David
Warner were found to be involved and all three
received unprecedented sanctions from Cricket
Australia. Although he was found not to have been
involved, Australia's coach, Darren Lehmann,
announced he would step down from his role following
the scandal. Smith was replaced as Test captain by Tim
Paine.

14. ACTUALLY WHAT HAPPENED?
• In March 2018, the Australia national cricket
team toured South Africa to play four Test
matches against the South Africa national cricket
team. On 24 March 2018, after lunch on the third day
of the third Test match, Australia's Cameron Bancroft
was shown on the television coverage and on screens
at the ground appearing to rub the ball with a small
yellow object. After Bancroft realised that he had been
seen, he was again shown on the television coverage
and on screens at the ground hiding the object in the
front of his trousers. He was then approached by
the umpires, and he showed them a
dark microfibre sunglass pouch from his pocket. The
umpires inspected the ball.

15. • In the post-match press conference,
Smith admitted that the team's "leadership group" had
a plan, carried out by Bancroft, to tamper with the ball
to "get an advantage.“
• Smith and Warner were made to step down from their
roles as captain and vice-captain of the Australia
national team. The International Cricket Council (ICC)
also announced a one match suspension for Smith, and
fined him and Bancroft, as interim sanctions while
further investigations were underway.
• All three players were sent home, and on Wednesday,
Cricket Australia announced one-year bans for both
Smith and Warner and a nine-month ban for Bancroft.

23. CONCLUSION
• Cricket has always been known as a Gentlemen’s
game and incidents like these not just hurt the
image and reputation of the player but the entire
sport.
• Players like Smith and Warner are inspiration to
many youngsters around the world and seeing their
idols being involved in such incidents send a wrong
message to them.
• Players should keep their sportsmanship alive and
always play fair for the respect of the sport and set
example for the upcoming young players.
