    ICC's anti-corruption unit warns Pakistan players not to wear smart-watches
  • Pakistan players will not wear smart-watches on the field anymore, after ICC's anti-corruption officials paid them a visit on the first day of the opening Test against England.

    This is just a precautionary measure and there are no allegations against Pakistan players.

    Pakistan are visiting England for a two-match series. The first Test match started on Thursday at Lord's.

  • No allegations of wrongdoing have been laid on the Pakistan team.

    However, when Asad Shafiq and Babar Azam were seen wearing smart-watches, it became a cause for concern for the ICC officials.

    The ICC wants to avoid any possibility of cheating and the Pakistan players have been instructed against wearing such devices.

  • The reason why players were wearing the smart-watches was to check the calories that they have burnt.

    However, in the past, these smart wearables have been used for cheating on the field.

    Last year, Boston Red Sox, one of the teams of the Major League Baseball, were found guilty of using these to inform their batsmen of the signs used by pitchers during matches.

    Pakistan have a history of spot fixing
  • Pakistan players have been in the limelight for wrong reasons after being involved in spot-fixing scandals.

    Mohammad Amir, who is currently playing the Test at Lord's, was pulled up in 2010 for spot-fixing against England.

    Mohammad Asif and Salman Butt were the other players who served a ban in the same case.
