Cricket Controversies and Scandals

Cricket has been called a game of gentleman but due to a lot of glamour involved in it, it is full of controversies and scandals. The lust for money and fame derives a cricketer or a person related to cricket to become part of controversy and scandals. Exposure of cricketers at the international level sometimes prove dangerous as they misuse the honor and fame given to the cricket celeberities. Controversies and scandals actually harm the image and honor cricket and bring defame to the game.
There are number of controversies and scandals which took place in the history and field of cricket. Some are on field and some are off field. Strict disciplinary actions were also taken against those who were fould guilty of such scandals some recent examples are life ban for Hansie Cronjie (South Africa) Azzruddin (India). But still ICC is not able to get rid of all these problems.
Other scandals are relating to the personnel lives of cricketers which sometime give very negative impact on the society e.g using drugs,openly having illicit relations and using foul language. There is a lack in following proper disciplinary code of conduct which is causing all these problems.
But I believe that there is nothing impossible and Rome was not built in a single day. If sincere efforts are there than these issues can also be settled.
