The latest news have sprung up. ICC wants ECB to “monitor” Mushtaq (CricInfo). And what exactly will they be monitoring? Tapping phone calls? Watching survelliance tapes of his hotel room and alerting room service? Sure, let ECB monitor Mushtaq like they monitored their involvement by getting into bed with Sir Allen Stanford (headline of a news press recently). I don’t think this is going to work, neither in the short-term nor in the long-term. Just like how PCB jumped the gun by appointing Malik the head of NCA, ECB did the same. They both have backed out now.
