Pakistan batting great Javed Miandad has demanded that players who are found guilty of corruption in cricket should be hanged for bringing their country into disrepute.
Speaking on his Youtube channel, the former Pakistan captain said he had no sympathies for players who indulge in fixing of any sort and commit treason with their teams and country.
"Players who are involved in spot-fixing should be severely punished," he said.
"Spot-fixers should be hanged because it is similar to killing someone and so the punishment should also be on the same lines. An example should be set so that no player even thinks about doing something like this.
"These things go against the teachings of our religion (Islam) and should be treated accordingly."
"It is so easy for players to get involved in these corrupt practices, make money and then use their influence and connections to comeback into the team."
"Imagine when the trust of these millions is broken should those breaking it be forgiven and allowed to play again?."
