Australian cricket great Shane Warne has called for life bans to be imposed on players found guilty of fixing or conspiring to manipulate matches.
"If it is true and they have been found (guilty of) match-fixing and throwing games and spot betting with the no-balls and stuff, if that's the case they should be thrown out,'' Warne told reporters on Thursday.
"It's as simple as that. I don't think there should be any other way to do it.
"If it's fixed by players, they should be banned for life. Anyone who's involved should be thrown out."

The Australian pair were implicated in shenanigans when they admitted having given information to an Indian bookmaker during a tour of Sri Lanka in 1994.
The players were fined by the Australian Cricket Board in 1995 - but officials covered it up until it became public three years later, fearing a backlash because of the explosive nature of the issue.
Reports varied on how much the pair received, ranging from A$2500 to A$15,000.
In 1995, Warne, Waugh and spinner Tim May claimed Pakistan captain Salim Malik had offered them bribes ahead of a test in Karachi in 1994, adding to the ACB's acute embarrassment.
