"Just like any other sport, Cricket has it's own rules and regulations. All the teams that play international, of course they have to follow them. It's closely monitored by different teams, visiting different countries. If you look into it, there are plenty of Cricket teams out there. So, at any time if there's any player that is not following the conduct or rules or regulations, they do have an international team that they have to be answering to. So, for example, you look into baseball or you look into football, just like in America, you have the sports that you can not use any kind of drugs that will be addition to your performance. They monitor that in Cricket as well because the pitchers basically are forcing so much energy throwing that ball so there has been cases and there are strict rules. At the same time, Cricket, you will hear that it's the gentleman's sport, so which means that any foul language on the field is also a big no-no. So, absolutely they follow up on that and if there's misconduct between the players or teams or countries or any kind of racial remarks, of course they have to be addressed. And, there's a fine, of course, for that. Just like any other international sports, Cricket is one clean game that has to be followed just like a sportsman. So, Sportsman's Spirit is the biggest thing in Cricket. Pretty much there is a clause for every single situation that can take place. And, on the field we have 2 umpires who can call those. And, also we have a third umpire who's sitting in a pavilion watching through the video cameras making sure everything goes well. So, it is very closely monitored as compared to other sports. And yes, the players have to be answerable for their conduct."
