da roleta： Bloomberg07-Sep-2001England will tour India in November without a security manager, contrary to advice from the sport’s ruling body on how to counter corruption.Sir Paul Condon, head of the International Cricket Council’sAnti-Corruption Unit, recommended in April that all Test-playingcountries appoint someone to advise on the security of players,officials and venues. That person’s job would include preventingand detecting improper approaches to players on tour, and liaisingwith the ACU.”At the moment we are not planning to appoint a securitymanager before the India tour,” ECB spokesman Andrew Walpolesaid. “Our management staff for the tour has been named and isunlikely to change.”India has been a hotbed of cricket corruption in recentyears. The Board of Control for Cricket in India handed out twolife bans for match-fixing and two five-year bans in November,while former South Africa captain Hansie Cronje’s life ban stemmedfrom links with Indian bookmakers.India will appoint a security manager after its AnnualGeneral Meeting at the end of this month, in time for the tour ofSouth Africa in October.”We think it is very important,” said A.C. Muttiah,president of the BCCI.The ICC meets next month in Lahore, Pakistan, where it willset time-scales to implement its recommendations such as the oneon security managers.”Urgency is needed,” ICC spokesman Mark Harrison said.
