ACB chief calls for life ban

8220;My own view, and it8217;s a personal view I will take to London with me, is that if match-fixing has been proven and if a player is proven beyond doubt to be guilty of match-fixing, then it8217;s only sensible that the cricket public and administrators should respond and say it8217;s life, you don8217;t play again for life,8221; Rogers said.

8220;There8217;s no second chances on this. If there is anyone who is responsible who is a player, then they have no right to play,8221; he said.

Rogers, an ICC executive board member, said it was unrealistic to expect a cure for match-fixing to emerge after just two days.

8220;The game belongs to the people and we therefore owe it to the people to get to the bottom of it,8221; Rogers said.

He said that meant developing a status report and then moving forward to 8220;rid ourselves of this wretched curse.8221;

8220;I8217;m not sure we can get to the bottom of it,8221; Rogers said. 8220;What we can do is put a process in place that tries to bring that about as a matter of urgency.8221;
