This has been a very disappointing moment for the England women’s cricket team. Big statements are being given by former cricketers on this defeat of England. So now the name of former England cricketer Alex Hartley has also been added to these names. Hartley says England need to be a little more fit. Alex Hartley gave a big statement Let us tell you that after England’s exit from the Women’s T20 World Cup, Alex Hartley while talking on BBC Test Match Special said – It is really disappointing. A lot of questions will be asked and some of them will be on fitness, which is right. England need to be more fit. Australia has got 15 or 16 athletes, but they are real athletes. You look at our team, I will not take names, but if you see them you will know. We’ve lost tough games for so long. When England come under pressure, and in particular, when Sophie Ecclestone doesn’t slow things down and take wickets, everyone gets nervous. She can’t do this again and again. There are going to be questions about captain Heather Knight, management, fitness and what is going on in this England team. And now we need to change things. When you haven’t won a World Cup for so long, things need to change.
ICC’s anti-corruption chief Alex Marshall warned of the danger of corruption from ‘poorly run T20 league’, know what he said
I believe the cricket you watch is safe and clean: Alex Marshall Alex Marshall (Image Credit- Twitter X) Alex Marshall, chief of the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Anti-Corruption Unit team, has recently assured the general public that the cricket they watch is completely corruption-free. He also warned that those who want to corrupt the game usually enter the system from local T20 leagues. These leagues are not run by the ICC but by its member countries. Marshall further said that as long as people want to make money, corrupt people will keep trying to get into the system. Alex Marshall, quoted by the Times of India, said, “I believe the cricket you watch is safe and clean. But I am also convinced that the corrupt are constantly finding their way into the game, especially in the poorly run lower-level franchise T20 leagues. The danger to the game is that as long as there is money to be made, the corrupt will not be able to escape and they will find loopholes in the system to get involved.” He also spoke about how pleased he is with the growing number of players willing to report corruption, which helps the global body maintain the integrity of the sport. Marshall further said- I am glad to see the growing number of players trusting us to come and report such cases to us. But there was a time when players kept it a secret, which led to no action, but now they have confidence. Players have seen corrupt people being busted, which shows who the corrupt are, what their methods are. So, everyone is better protected and equipped to keep corruption away from the game. Marshall has been on this post for 7 years Let us tell you that Alex Marshall has been leading the ICC’s Anti Corruption Unit for the last 7 years. Under his leadership, special changes have been seen in the system. It was under Marshall’s leadership that an Indian bookie was foiled on the report of Shakib Al Hasan.
