Former New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum has used the Marylebone Cricket Club Spirit of Cricket lecture to criticise the sport's governing body for its handling of match-fixing evidence. Speaking at an annual function at Lord's on Monday, McCullum said he felt let down that his report of alleged match-fixing approaches from former New Zealand teammate Chris Cairns were leaked. Cairns was acquitted of match fixing-linked perjury charges following a two-month trial in London at last year, at which McCullum gave evidence. The 34-year-old said the leaking of his initial testimony had a huge personal effect on him and his family because of the intense media scrutiny and fears his experience will put off others who may want to provide evidence to authorities. "No witness should ever have to go through such a scenario again," he said. "The leak has never been explained to me. To my knowledge no one has been held accountable and, in those circumstances, it is difficult to have confidence in the ICC. "It goes without saying that, if players do not have confidence in the organisation, they will be reluctant to report approaches and the game is worse off."
