Pakistan's senior judges, who conduct match-fixing investigation in the past, on Sunday said their recommendations to check dishonesty in cricket were ignored and that led to the latest betting disgrace.
A British judge on Thursday sentence former captain Salman Butt to 30 months, fast bowler Mohammad Asif to one year and Mohammad Amir to six months of jail for their roles in spot-fixing last year's Lord's Test next to England.Their agent Mazhar Majeed established a 32-month jail term.
Pakistan conduct different investigation on match-fixing between 1994 and 2000 but the menace resurfaced during the tour of England last year.
"When the young cricketers see a lot of money in the game, they get unfocused and go out of their minds to earn," said Justice retired Malik Mohammad Qayyum, who conduct a complete inquiry between 1998 to 2000.
"It was because of that I optional the Pakistan Cricket Board to check players' possessions from time to time, but no action was taken. Look at Amir; he is so young and talented, but had there been a proper check on him, this case would not have happen."
Retired judge Fakhruddin Ibrahim said fixing was not new in international cricket. "It's old and widespread disease," Ibrahim told.
"Too much money has made the game a business and too much dishonesty has come in, and that's not restricted to Pakistan only. It's a problem in India as well and other countries."
Ibrahim led the 1995 one-man charge to investigate allegation by Australian trio of Shane Warne, Tim May and Mark Waugh, who answerable then Captain Salim Malik for offering a bribe to underperform during their tour of Pakistan.
