Wicketkeeper-batsman Latif retired from international cricket in 2003

Latif suspects he is the only person to have given the ACU any real information about potential match-fixing worries.

He told BBC Sport: "I was willing to work with the ACU and had a detailed meeting with them in London in 2003.

"I put my life at stake and shared important facts with the ACU, but I was not taken seriously."

Latif, a wicket-keeper batsman who now plays for charity side Lashings, based in Kent, retired from international cricket in 2003.

I somehow felt the ACU could not do anything significant about this grave issue Rashid Latif

His Test career suffered as a result of making corruption claims against team-mates.

He gave evidence to the Qayyum commission in 2000, one of two judicial inquiries conducted into allegations of corruption against Pakistan players.

That led to Salim Malik and Ata-ur-Rehman receiving life bans and others, including former Pakistan captain Waqar Younis, being fined.

Cricket was brought to its knees by match-fixing in 2000, when the then South African captain Hansie Cronje admitted taking money to lose matches on purpose.

That case spawned a number of other investigations, and the ICC set up the ACU in June of that year.

Its chairman is Lord Condon, the one-time Metropolitan Police Commissioner.

But since it was set up the only player to be publicly identified and punished has been Kenya's Maurice Odumbe.

Cricket has come a long way in tackling the evils of corruption Lord Condon ACU chairman

Latif said: "I somehow felt the ACU could not do anything significant about this grave issue [match-fixing].

"In my opinion the ACU has to strengthen its information network.

"They might not have anything more in their database than what I provided them.

"The ACU should work in close co-ordination with the intelligence agencies in cricket-playing nations, for example India's Central Bureau of Investigation has done a fair job to curb betting.

"All in all the ACU has been highly unsuccessful."

The England and Wales Cricket Board chairman David Morgan defended the ACU on Sunday.

He said: "I sit at ICC and hear annual reports from Lord Condon and it is very clear the Anti-Corruption and Security Unit is ever vigilant, so are member boards."

A statement from Lord Condon on the ICC website says: "Cricket has come a long way in tackling the evils of corruption. It has had to grow up quickly but it can never relax and grow complacent.
