Players are frightened after reporting advance by bookies, especially in tournaments like IPL, claims International Cricketers' Association chief Tim May.
Match-fixing is back in spotlight due to the ongoing criminal trial against Pakistani cricketers - Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif - in London for supposedly conspire to send down deliberate no balls throughout a Test match for cash.
The bookie at the centre of it all, Mazhar Majeed, has drop names of other international players as well, as well as the Australians. But the Aussies have been empty of any illegal behavior by the ICC.
May said players need to be sure that their names would be sheltered when they report approaches to the ICC.
"Players need a point of trust to report approaches/doubts," May has written in a report free on Wednesday.
"Some international players are express that they don't have this point of trust, particularly in tournament such as the Indian Premier League.
"Players will be more tending to report approaches if there is greater secrecy around the reporting process. Some players won't report breach they observe for either fear of their protection or simply because they just don't want to get concerned," the 'Sydney Morning Herald quoted May as saying.
