Why does the ICC have an Anti-Corruption and Security Unit?

Answer 1

The ICC Anti-Corruption Unit was set up to provide international cricket with a dedicated, professional operation to tackle the problem of match-fixing and corruption.

Its first Terms of Reference covered the three year period up to the end of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2003 in South Africa. Those original Terms have been reviewed and amended to recognise the wider role now required. With effect from July 2003, the Anti-Corruption Unit was renamed as the ICC Anti-Corruption and Security Unit.

Answer 2

In June 2000, the ICC set up the ICC Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU). At that time, international cricket was in the grips of a corruption crisis which represented the gravest challenge it had faced since the Packer Revolution of the 1970s and the Bodyline series of the 1930s. Cricket's reputation and integrity were tarnished and in danger of being destroyed.


Decisive action was called for in the wake of match-fixing allegations and revelations surrounding South Africa captain Hansie Cronje and the captains of India and Pakistan, Mohammed Azharuddin and Salim Malik. Eventually all three were banned for life from international cricket. Other players were suspended, fined and warned about their future conduct following judicial and board enquiries in several major cricket countries.


By setting up the ACSU - an operationally independent unit - the ICC signalled its determination to cleanse the game of corruption and to restore its reputation.


Four years since its inception, the ACSU continues to work and protect cricket's reputation from would-be corruptors
