Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni has defended the anti-corruption cricket watchdog and chose to put the onus of keeping fraud out of the game onto the cricketers' personal code of ethics.
Cricketers must take more responsibility for their actions to prevent the spread of corruption, Dhoni said on Tuesday.
He was speaking in the light of the suspension last week of Pakistan players Salman Butt, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif following spot-fixing allegations levelled against them in Britain's News of the World newspaper.
It is crucial to keep the game clean, Dhoni told a news conference in Durban.
Personally I think it is up to the individual. You don't need someone to guide you or restrict you. If you are playing for, or representing, your country you should feel pride in doing that.
In the wake of the allegations against the Pakistan trio the International Cricket Council's (ICC) Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) has come under fire for not doing enough to prevent the spread of corruption in cricket.
