International Cricket Commission (ICC) investigators have spoken with former South African cricket captain Hansie Cronje, who has been banned for life, about ways of dealing with match fixing and corruption in the game.

Cronje's lawyer Leslie Sackstein Wednesday issued a statement confirming that Cronje had met two members of the ICC anti-corruption unit in Sackstein's Bloemfontein office Monday. 
The investigators talked to Cronje on possible preventative measures that could be instituted to avoid match-fixing and other irregularities in cricket. "Cronje spoke to them voluntarily to help them formulate recommendations which would help prevent young cricketers becoming involved in irregularities," Sackstein said. He refused to give further details of the meeting.

UCB communications manager Bronwyn Wilkinson said the body had no comments about Cronje talking to the ICC team, as it had distanced itself from the issue. It is believed, however, that there is support within the UCB for Cronje in any efforts he might undertake to help clean up the game. UCB president Percy Sonn had earlier said that he wanted Cronje to have nothing to do with cricket at all.
