Graveney proposes lie-detector plan for cricket

13 April 2012

England's chairman of selectors David Graveney has suggested that lie-detector tests could be introduced to cricket in order to prevent future match-fixing scandals.  

The idea is being pioneered by officials of Singapore's crisis-torn football league with the sport's chiefs waiting on the results.

Graveney believes the ICC should look into following suit, and has said he will bring the matter up with the head of international cricket's Anti-Corruption Unit Sir Paul Condon.

He told the Sunday Express: "We have to keep an open mind about anything which might help restore the credibility of cricket.

"It is something I will broach with Sir Paul Condon when we next speak.

"As a former police officer, he will know how valuable lie detectors might be in this situation.

"We should certainly monitor what happens in the Singapore case."
