Imran calls for revamp in Pak cricket

Former Pakistan skipper Imran Khan feels that its time for Pakistan cricket to go for a makeover.
"For years now our players have been linked to corruption," the cricketer turned politician told the Geo News channel on Thursday.
"When the spot fixing allegations first came out against our players in the News of the World newspaper, the PCB itself should have taken action against the players instead of waiting for the ICC to step in," Imran added.
Imran was reacting to the warning issued by the ICC to Pakistan cricket urging them to improve governance and pu in place stringent anti-corrution norms.
"The ICC move to warn us and put us on notice is a shameful day for every Pakistani. It is a shame for Pakistan cricket and the reason is we don't have any cricket institution in Pakistan," Imran said.
"Ijaz Butt's governance has been a failure. He should have resigned the moment he apologised to the England board and withdraw his statement because they threatened him with legal action," he added.
