Direction: Answer the questions based on the following passage.

Superstars breaking down in front of the camera and apologising for misdeeds-these were unusual visuals from Australia last week, as the ball tampering scandal took a heavy toll on the guilty trio. Far away and somewhat unnoticed, ICC chief executive David Richardson made an important admission. He said laws pertaining to on-field misbehaviour need revision.

Other than questioning whether the rules are appropriate, he also suggested grading acts of misbehaviour according to the degree of seriousness. In short, Richardson accepted what the world has been saying all along, that the existing mechanism of dealing with such incidents is not efficient enough. Because amending rules in the ICC requires the consent of a majority of member boards, matters often go to votes and that is where politics comes in. So it has to be seen how members react to the chief executive’s remarks. But for the betterment of the game’s image and its own image of being a meek body that toes the line of influential boards, the ICC has to take this seriously.

There is no doubt that cricketers dare to break the rules because they know that they will get away with light sanctions like a fine or a suspended ban sentence. There is no consistency in handing out punishments either. A major reason things turned ugly repeatedly in the last few months is the governing body’s history of ineptness in dealing with these issues.

Now that the Australian board has taken the exemplary step of suspending the captain and vice-captain for a year each and a top ICC official has spoken of correcting the system, it’s time for the establishment to be proactive. Repercussions of scandals are not always felt in India where nothing stops sponsors from queuing up, but for cricket to do business outside the subcontinent, reputation is important. Richardson’s comments are significant because they had a lot to do with this aspect. Sooner the ICC paid heed the better, because time may be ticking away.
