In the wake of massive ball-tampering scandal that sent shock waves through sporting world, Cricket Australia (CA) has appointed a panel who will draft a charter of behaviour to which the national side will adhere.
The panel, which will conduct players review, will include former Test players Rick McCosker, Shane Watson and George Bailey, current players Pat Cummins and women's vice-captain Rachael Haynes.
The players' review will run in conjunction with the wide-range review into Cricket Australia's organizational structure.
The broader review, which will study the relationship between player behaviour and cultural, organisational and governance issues within Cricket Australia and team performance bodies nationwide, will be conducted by the Sydney-based Ethics Centre and led by its Executive Director Dr Simon Longstaff AO.
Reflecting on the same, CA Chairman David Peever said that the board is determined to avoid any infringements activities like ball tampering and sledging in future.
"We understand and share the disappointment of fans and the broader Australian community about these events. The board is determined to do all we can to prevent such events from ever happening again," cricket.com.au quoted Peever, as saying.
