| Safe and corruption free World Cup are biggest challenges: ICC |
The 2015 edition of ICC s premier one day international tournament takes place in Australia and New Zealand from February 14 with the final of the 14 team quadrennial event taking place on March 29 in Melbourne.
It s perhaps a sign of the changing times but David Richardson believes that delivering a secure and corruption free cricket World Cup will be their greatest challenge over the next two months.
It has been a challenge but I think we are very well placed so there is not necessarily a threat to the tournament itself but obviously we have to be aware of the global situation.
The other factor of course is match fixing and spot fixing. Any incident along those lines will be a disaster for the event.
The ACU have been working for the last two three years on putting in place memorandums of understandings with the New Zealand police and with the Australian police to make sure they make it very very difficult for any of these fellows travelling around the world who are trying to influence matches added Richardson.
The number of approaches the number of reports that we are getting from players shows that the players have got this very much in the forefront of their minds and they are taking the responsibility seriously he added.
