Pakistan head coach Mickey Arthur on Sunday praised Sarfraz Ahmed for reporting a spot fixing approach as “a real example to our team”. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Saturday confirmed he was approached with a fixing offer during the ongoing one-day series with Sri Lanka but he reported the matter to the Board’s anti-corruption unit.
“To be honest he reacted unbelievably well,” Arthur told media at Sharjah stadium.
“He did everything required of him and we had a chat straight afterwards”.
“It was handled brilliantly and I think that is a real example to our team and to the cricket world that a really important player was approached and acted to the letter of the law and did exceptionally well as a true ambassador of the game” he added.
Pakistan is on course for whitewash in the ODI series against Sri Lanka, having already leading the series 4-0 as the fifth match will be played today.
