The United Cricket Board is preparing to host the 2003 World Cup and is backing all measures aimed at identifying the guilty before the tournament takes place.

The UCB handed out a life ban to former national captain Hansie Cronje last year, following his admission that he accepted large sums of money in return for providing information.

They also gave six-month bans to batsman Herschelle Gibbs and seam bowler Henry Williams for accepting cash inducements to under-perform in a one-day game against India, even though neither ultimately fulfilled their end of the bargain and they were not paid.

Communications Manager Bronwyn Wilkinson said several of the recommendations put forward by Sir Paul had already been implemented by the UCB.

"This included player security, a dressing room accreditation system and the monitoring of phonecalls in hotel rooms and the limited usage of mobile phones during play," she added.

Chief executive Gerald Majola believes a global programme of training and awareness at all levels of cricket should be a top priority.
