"We desperately need to save our future generations after what happened to Butt, Asif and Aamer," former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif, who blew the whistle on match-fixing in 1995, told AFP.


Latif said huge money needed to be pumped into domestic cricket.

"There is frustration among the local players who cannot buy a car or a house from their earnings and until we pump millions of rupees into our domestic cricket we cannot stop players from this malpractice," said Latif.

"Nothing was done about it. I don't think this verdict will make a difference to Pakistan or international cricket," added Latif.
