The International Cricket Council (ICC) has asked all of its full members to sign a declaration showing support for the organisation's new anti-corruption methods.
The one-page letter is to be signed by both players and officials, and the process has already started.
"There was a declaration where we asked everybody that is involved in the game – players and officials – to declare their clear intent in joining us to ensure that the sport is clean," Haroon Lorgat, the ICC chief executive, told Cricinfo. "It was done in the last week or so."
The move seems to have support from most major nations. Pakistan and Australia are believed to have been among the early signatories and South Africa is expected to be next.
"The players are already subject to the anti-corruption code," Tony Irish, chief executive of the South African Cricketers' Association (SACA), added. "This is a very simple declaration that shows support for the anti-corruption methods used by the ICC.
"We [SACA] support the players signing it and believe that everyone in cricket should sign it – including administrators and support staff – to show that we are all unified against corruption.”
