The International Cricket Council (ICC) is to impose a blanket ban on all Twitter posts by team officials during matches in a bid to be seen to be doing all it can to crack down on corruption. As recent events have shown, the ICC has a zero-tolerance approach to corruption and anything that can negate that possibility is something we are definitely interested in, ICC spokesman James Fitzgerald told This is just a precaution, its not something we are overly concerned about. But we do feel a team managers phone should be used for operational purposes only during matches. This applies to all teams and this decision has not been taken in response to anything the Australia team manager has said or done previously. Players and officials will though still be allowed to post Twitter messages when their sides are not playing matches.
